    M&P Sport vs M&P Rifle (sku 811000)

    For what its worth, I'm a woman and love my sport. I was able to outfit it how I want for under a grand including 500 rounds of practice ammo. I have not needed a forward assist.. and definitely don't need a dust cover. It was my valentine to me this year and I'm so glad I bought it. My friends...

    hand guard w/rail kit vs a quad rail

    Well, I feel like it was a successful trip to the show today. Got a quad rail with the rubber covers, two more pmags, flashlight side mount and folding forward grip. I spent $115 out the door and don't feel that was too bad. I would just like to get some Hogue grips on there and a recoil pad...

    hand guard w/rail kit vs a quad rail

    Thank you to all of you for answering. Ok, so I'm going to be doing some looking around to possibly find a rail that will work for me. Doesn't sound like anyone has a preference of drop in or float. The guy at the shop called the AR Barbie dolls for men because of all the options. ;) I can see...

    hand guard w/rail kit vs a quad rail

    Weight is a consideration. I'm not a big woman and I want function as well as keeping it fun to fire. I had a blast with it yesterday.

    What are the benefits of free float vs drop in? I appreciate the info.

    Has anyone used a kit like this? I'm wondering on the stability vs an actual rail. The kit looks more comfortable but if it's not stable for attachments the rail would be better. AR-15/M16 MOE HANDGUARD & RAIL KITS - Brownells Thanks! I'm headed to a gun show tomorrow and hope to get some...

    M&P Sport and 5.56 or .223 Ammo (newb to AR platform)

    I got it out back today and fired a few clips through it. Had a blast and the dogs are thoroughly shaken!

    Thank you for that info. I have some brass waiting to go... I will be curious to see if one makes a noticeable difference.

    M&P Sport and 5.56 or .223 Ammo (newb to AR platform)

    Thank you for those answers. I have shot an AR loaded with .223 but not the 5.56 and was curious if there was a noticeable difference. Apparently not is good to know. I have experience with .357 and .45 pistols, but am new to the AR world and am excited to pick mine up tomorrow.

    M&P Sport and 5.56 or .223 Ammo (newb to AR platform)

    I just read the post regarding 5.56 vs .223 and it addresses the sport model specifically.. looks like I'm safe with either. I'm still curious what differences you notice.. I'm expecting just a lighter kick with the .223 The AR belonging to my friend that I shot was running .223 and the recoil...

    M&P Sport and 5.56 or .223 Ammo (newb to AR platform)

    Hello Everyone.. and thanks in advance for not picking on the newb here too much if I ask some basic questions. :) I've gone and placed my order for the M&P 15 sport tonight and pick it up on Thursday and am very excited. The guys at the shop were all very knowledgeable and helpful. I didn't...
