I’ve read a couple threads here for my inside and found some good info.
But some wasn’t covered
I recently purchased a new M&P Sport 556. I believe it’s the sport 1, but I second guess that because I was told the sport one didn’t have dust cover or assist.
Mine has both
But box was marked Sport 1 and had no sights. I purposely bought it with flat top, adding stuff later.
So to point. I did nothing to this gun. I took it straight out with two 30rd PMAG, shot both mags with PMC Bronze .223. No issues at all.
I then purchased PMC XTAC in 556 not green tip.
And I had several failures.
The primer looked to have been struck but no fire.
I say several, 4-5 rounds per mag.
On a few of those instances I’d get on trigger and it was dead, and then I’d hear a click like it reset and it would fire.
So recap:
Fire a shot, I’d wait 5-6 sec to fire another and nothing
Then 2-5 sec later I’d hear light click like reset and then it’d fire
I’ve been told I should have cleaned this gun before I shot it.
I didn’t know that. It appeared clean and had a good amount of oil.
I’ve been told clean it and run it dry. As in light oil on matting surfaces like a handgun and everywhere else dry.
But I’ve also read several others including here that this gun likes to be run wet.
Thanks for info in advance
