Another vote for buying the Rock River 2 stage. They feel nice and they don't break the bank...around $100-120.

And since I didn't see it mentioned.... If your AR has a 1 in 9" twist you are probably not going to want to load anything heavier than a 69gr bullet anyway or accuracy will start to suffer. It isn't the weight of the bullet that causes this problem but the length of the bullet. I am guessing...

You still haven't received your replacement?? This interests me because I just ordered a second M&P full size and if their customer service isn't top notch I want to know about it for sure. Best customer service I have seen to date, by far, was Rock Island Armory. They refunded me all of what I...

Like one person pointed out, if you stipple it your stuck with it. I would first order some Talon grips in rubber, or the more aggressive sand texture. The Talon grips are about $17.00and it is a easy way to see if that is enough grip for you. If they don't cut it then you can decide on the...

I use a chamber brush made for the AR15.I have a brass and SS brush and one made of nylon bristles. I use the brass one with some cleaning solvent or CLP and then I wrap a thin patch around the nylon brush and run that into the chamber to remove fouling.

If you shoot a bunch of coated steel cased ammo, you really should clean the chamber before running brass cases through it or eventually you may end up with a stuck case. The polymer, varnish, or other coatings on the steel cases will burn off into the chamber walls and then a brass case can...

OK guys, thanks for the input, but really we are off the subject now.....I don't need to know what the difference is between DA and SA, I just wanted to know why S&W had literature and descriptions out there calling the M & P compact a DAO... that's all, got my answer a ways back. Thanks everyone!

The one I am getting is the 209304 and it is the 12 round, so I am hopeful that the distributors description was just messed, it shouldn't be a MA model with 12 rd. I have my answer now, I believe the descriptions I read were just messed up.

Thank you for that info, I can rest easy now....they had me worried for awhile. I saw a spec, on the S&W website that said it has a 10lb. trigger pull, so I started to think that maybe they did do a DAO model somehow.

I have an M&P 9mm full size, and I love it, but I lent it to my daughter and she now likes it and doesn't want to give it back.....So I decided to order her a M&P 9 compact, figuring it would be the same thing only smaller, but looking at some spec listed here and there it says it is DAO..?? I...

Fresh out of 22LR, so please enter me in this wonderful giveaway! Thanks

I also would like to know what the barrel nut torque should be. I have the 422, but imagine the spec should be similar to the 2206.

That sounded easy enough, I wish mine wasn't quite so tight, still scared it will snap off instead of unscrewing. Thanks for the reply!

I haven't had any failures because of the weakening spring, yet....But when I was talking to the S&W tech, he said it didn't sound right that it would have lost any noticable tension in approx. 700 rounds. I explained to him that I had fired more 124gr and 147gr than 115 and he didn't think that...

Guide Rod I called them today because my recoild spring has turned to mush in 700 shots. I was told to send the gun back.....they didn't offer to just replace. Anyway, does anyone know if that hex end on the guide rod can be unscrewed???
