It's 2017 and I see the gun stores I patronize have the M&P-15T in stock- I would imagine any LGS could get them too. The keymod and M-Lok guys are always quick to bash any rifle with a quad rail, but it works for me and I don't have to mess around with screws, etc just to mount covers or...

Yep, I saw that sale Primary Arms had on S&W M&P-15 Sport IIs also- $500 is a great price for that rifle. Geno

My M&P-15T got new furniture when I was up in Oregon for the Christmas. Yes, I did shoot it up there too. Geno

I bought my M&P-15T because it was a Smith & Wesson AR, plus it had the quad rail, the Melonite -coated barrel, and a 1:8 twist. In my mind it was worth the extra $300+ over the Sport II- having a ready-to-shoot rifle that looks great out the box is worth it to me. Not having to disassemble it...

I finally got my M&P-15T home last night (10 day wait in CA gun jail- 5:10 pm and not a minute earlier). The 15T's Melonite barrel does have a nice finish on it, but as expected, the stock and grip are fill and are basic spare-parts items. I'm betting the 15T will be downgraded with the 1:9...

I put a Midwest Industries free floating quad rail on this PSA upper assembly with a Spike's lower- I know this isn't a S&W M&P-15 Sport or Sport II, but the exercise is the same. The hardest part was removing the A2 sight/gas base- if you think knocking the pins out to slid off the sight is...

Everyone prefers their choice of handguard for different reasons- when I told a shooting buddy I was putting a free-floating quad rail on one of my AR's, he told me don't do it- they were obsolete. I still did, and am very happy with the choice I made. Sure, switching to a keymod hand guard...

The thing about all of these mickey-mouse CA gun regs is that their agenda is clear- make the functionality of the AR, AK and any other sport rifle with a detachable mag so bad, the owner will abandon hope of using it in public, or better yet surrender it for destruction. I refuse to modify any...

I am a leftie, so I need the ambidextrous safety selector. Maybe I should make a LH safety switch just to piss of all the right-handed people-lol. I guess I've gotten used to all of the LH discrimination in the world growing up- I just make things work for me. Dropping in an ambi safety switch...

what makes the M&P-15 series so different from other AR-15s that a generic ambi safety selector switch wouldn't work? This is what I'm planning to install on my M&P-15T as soon as I take possession of it. Geno

I'm moving out of CA as soon as we can- maybe 3-5 years. In the meantime I have no plans of trying to jump through the Kommiefornia clusterF@ck of gun regs just to make a semi-auto sport rifle "legal"- the the Socialist politicians want to eliminate all ARs and AKs from the state. If they think...

I bought the M&P-15T specifically for it's 1:8 twist and the quad rail- I'm happy I was finally able to buy one. mine gets out of CA gun jail this Saturday. Geno

The M&P-15 is a great basic rifle- if you found it for a good price, it's worth upgrading as you see fit- put a better handguard on it, swap out the A2 sight/gas block with a low profile gas block, add flip-up sights, better stock and grip on it. The furniture upgrades do add up, but then you...

I looked at the SA Saint too- then I saw the S&W M&P-15T, compared the specs and price, and the choice was easy. The M&P-15T also has a 1:8 twist, "Armonite" coated barrel, mid length gas system, but has a 10" free float quad rail and MBUS sights- a better choice for optics IMO. The M&P-15T was...

The M&P-15T has a 1:8 twist.
