I bought my first AR, the M&P15T back in 2013. A few things bothered me though. The recoil spring felt loose and it was overgassed. I did some research on the forum and embarked on some upgrades. First I upgraded the furniture to a Magpul grip and CTR stock. Then added the Sprinco Blue and a...

Hope they keep the 1:8 5R barrels. Didn't think much about that when I bought my rifle but I'm sure glad it had that nice barrel.

It's hard to go to the range and not let loose with the 15-22. Can't shoot up all the 22 ammo in one range trip! :D

During these times, I usually shoot what I can find and I usually find Remington Golden Bullets. According to the manual, RGB is definitely not recommended. They shoot fine, just got to pay attention while shooting.

Thanks for the insight, much appreciated! Right now the M&P is a range pistol. One day, I might want it in the rotation for a SD/HD gun so I don't want too light of a trigger. The one thing that bothers me the most is the inconsistent trigger. Sometimes it feels fine (other than the...

I'll try to get some photos. I might order a brush and rod as well. Anyone got any recommendations for a good rod (that won't break the bank)? Edit: Looks similar to the photos in this thread: http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-smithing/106730-what-ring-barrel.html Wondering if it formed from...

While I was cleaning the 15-22, I noticed a stuck casing in the chamber. Once I pulled out the case, I noticed a ring inside the chamber towards the front. Ran a boresnake through it twice and it was still there. Not sure if its just dirty (carbon,lead) or not. Just wondering if anything is...

RGB have shot fine for me so far. Usually purchase them in those 525 round green boxes so I'm not sure if that matters.

Can't go wrong with Primary Arms

Hello everyone, greetings from the West Coast (So. Cal)!! Long time reader, first time poster. A Google search brought me here. Been lurking and reading and I was impressed with the knowledge and camaraderie of the fine folks here so I decided to register. Anyways, I currently own 2 M&P: a...
