Finally have broke down and found a good deal and will be picking up my first AR! Have been after one for a while and finally found what I felt was a good deal! After looking at bushmasters for a while because I have two buddies with them I settled in to wanting a M&P. I love my m&p 40c with crimson trace grips, so I figured I wanted to add another m&p to the family! I ended up getting the m&p15A. I dont have it yet because the store had to order it in because they were out of stock, but I felt I got a good price. I almost bought a used 15A last week for $25 less then what Im paying for this one new! Cant wait! Another member to the m&p family!
