New Sport II On The Way
I have owned a couple of AR-15's for several years now, including a S&W Sport. My AR's have functioned perfectly and I have made few changes to them.
But I just couldn't ignore the low prices on AR's anymore, so ordered a Sport II from Tombstone Tactical. I think the days of being able to buy a good AR for under $500 may be just about over.
Should have the Sport II early next week and I am looking forward to my first range trip.
I guess I need to buy a sling!

IT is always fun to take a new (to you) weapon out to the range. Don't forget to share the range report with us.

I pick mine up tomorrow and I agree with the OP on you just can beat it for under 500 price point.. I also bought a Trijicon MRO Black 1X25 2.0MOA Illuminated Red Dot w/ Full Co-Witness Mount to go with it.

I picked my new sport 2 up Monday. Did a cleaning and inspection on Tuesday, and fired 40 rounds through the AR. I had no malfunctions, and put all but one shot in a five inch bullseye at 50 yards. I bought this AR to keep for future use, so I cleaned the rifle and put it back into it's box. I am totally happy with it and at the price I paid I consider it a bargain.
I also own a Rock River and a Sport AR that I paid more for several years ago, and both have been great firearms.

I have the same rifle, sport 2 of it. There is a "stud" at the bottom of the front sight (below the barrel) which I cannot figure out the use of it. One gun shop guy told me it is for mounting a bayonet, but I could not find any bayonet that fit to it. Can anyone tell me what exactly is it for? actually I am trying to find a place to Mount a bipod to the rifle. I Thought that stud is for this purpose

Actually From another topic I confirm that stud is Indeed meant for bayonet, and there is an attachment plate just for it to Mount a bipod

In order to mount a bayonet, you will need a bayonet adapter, explained here.

With the red dot mounted on a riser it will co-witness with the iron sights and not interfere.

I purchased a BDS 2-point sling. It has the HK clips and it is comfortable, adjustable and very adaptable. I think it was around $20 and I may have ordered it through that great American armory, Walmart. I probably will be scaling back my business with them as their nincompoop CEO does not want to sell ammo or hand guns in Alaska. I didn't know they actually sold those. Magpul makes and excellent 2 point sling as well, but more expensive.

I just have an old GI M1 cotton web sling on mine. Works great for carrying, using hasty sling, or if you really want to, you can strap in as well.

I bought one of the M-1 Garand web slings for $17. Looks like new production but very well made with good parking. I fit it to my old Sport and liked it well enough I ordered a second one for my Sport 2.
After some trial and error, i took the J hook off of the sling on the Sport as it really isn't needed for the butt stock.

Nice buy! I think that price is a bargain.
Yes, I was impressed with the fit and finish on my Sport 2.

Waiting to get mine next week, I have had two since the early 70's and got rid of both, just couldn't get into them since i had just got home from over there. I swore iI would never get another one but you know how that goes and this one I will keep, price was great, rifle, case, and mag loader for less than 500 how could you say no.

The bayonet lug is part of just about every front sight casting. On 16" carbines the barrel ahead of the sight is too long to accept a bayonet, which was one reason for M4s having 14.5" barrels. Still, it's there and for many considered an essential "UP YOURS!" feature to annoy gun-grabbers.

We are both right. Myself, in that the 16" barrel ahead of the sight on a carbine-length gas system is too long to accept a GI bayo (and one reason the military shortened the barrel to 14.5), and you in that there is an adapter to allow the bayonet to be attached
