I've been looking for my first AR for a couple of months now. I'm amazed at the choices. But I was in a Cabelas and handled a M&P15 MID MOE and was very impressed with the feel. The f&f was very nice. Then I started reading about mid lenght ARs and was overwhelmed with more info on ARs. With all the OR, SRC and other choices without any sights at all, I'm about to decide on the MID MOE when I see one on sale. And be done with the choosing.
