Wow. I would be pretty upset about that. Ive seen a few other vids similar to this with Bushmasters and other ARs.

That was operator error. He had a malfunction and didn't clear it. I have shot 2000+ both factory and my own handloads and love my entry level AR. Stay tuned because I'm going to make some single shot bench loads for my leetle friend.
I wouldn't hesitate to have a friend of mine buy one of these guns to get into the game.

Yup. He didn't assess the appropriate malfunction. He didn't put the signs together that indicated the high probability of a squib.
He Tap/Rack/Banged when he should have cleared the firearm & checked for barrel obstructions.
I can't wait.

Ar 15 sport II
Seems I'm the only one that has had a problem with this rifle.
I purchased it 2 weeks ago. Took it to the rage to sight it in yesterday.
After about 6 rounds, i had a round not go off. Next my trigger didn't reset after a shot. I noticed the trigger pin had walked to the left letting the trigger shift. After pushing the pin back in, i had about 4 more rounds not go off do to soft pin strikes. And the trigger pin started to walk left.
I took it back to the store that i purchased it from. They are sending it to smith and wesson to fix. I will try to update this when i get it back and test it.
I don't know if smith and wesson will tell me what the problem is. If so, i will let you know.
After only one week, gander mountain told me my rifle was ready for pickup.
Seems the hammer spring was put in backwards at smith and wesson. The man at gander mountain said they had 3 other sprt II weapons that had that spring in backwards. Anyway, one week to get my rife back is really fast in anyone's book.
Took it to the range today. It had no problems at all. I am pleased with the speed and now with the rifle.
So if anyone you know of has this problem, you know what to look for. The hammer spring legs should extend from the bottom of the hammer's pin not the top.

I bought mine about 3 years ago. I've got probably 2,500 rounds through it - combination of factory ammo and reloads. I put a 3-9x scope on it and a Geissele trigger in it.
The thing is rock solid. One day at the range I had a long streak hitting a gong at 350 yds. The guys next to me kept saying 'He hit it again! He hit it again! He hit it again!"
It's a great (and fun) rifle.

Right.
If you're under fire that's the right course of action. Otherwise, it's a good idea to stop and diagnose the problem before proceeding.

Great shooter, accurate and well made. I bought mine last month from Grabagun, paid $597.00 out the door with free shipping.

Holy 4 1/2 year old thread Batman.
And no, you are not the only one with a problem from the factory, but I will admit they are pretty few and far between.

i was just wanting to know if there is any problems with the m&p15 sport ?? any advice or known problems would be good .
thanks chris....
S&W got it right when they built the Sport 1. THE END!
unhappy with the m and p15
Well I must be the second only individual with a problem with this rifle. I find it really uncomfortable to shoot. It does not sit well on the bench with my set up and I have quality bench rest equipment. On the bench and off hand it dislodges my ear protection . Accurate yes, feeds well, and responds well to reloading but I just find it uncomfortable to shoot. I guess you can't win them all.
Cheers

Is this problem somehow unique to the S&W M&P-15, or do you find other ARs equally uncomfortable?
And if it is unique to the M&P-15, can you explain what that unique feature is?

The Sport, or any other AR with a M4 style configuration, is not a bench rest rifle. This is a "battle rifle", made to be shot from field positions. Wrong tool for the job.
As far as the ear protection, I bet you are wearing over the ear style muffs. Many times these just don't work well due to cheek weld on a rifle. In the ear protective devices work well with all rifles.

Yes is do understand that this unit is not a bench rest rifle Still for sighting in purposes I use a bench rest system and testing loads. And that it is a battle rifle as you say so be it. I have heard from some vets that it is not their choice. As for hearing protection yes I do use muffs as I find the ear plugs not good enough. We all have our opinions and preferences.

I just put a couple hundred rounds through my sport II yesterday and also tried with muff style, and just won't work, My son was with me and he gave me a pair of ear plugs that worked so well I thought I was deaf !!
They were kind of a soft foam with 3 rings that inserted into your ear for a nice tight fit and they have a string that connects them. He gets these from his work place for free!! But I'm sure they sell them somewhere.. You could also try a different style butt stock with an adjustable cheek rest. But they are kinda pricey!

Hi I am doing just that looking for that type of protection because it is really annoying getting your eardrum blasted. I am currently looking into construction safety stores when I go to the City but have not found the right one yet. And yes there are other expensive stocks around many out of stock. I wonder why!

More often than not, I end up using just in ear hearing protection with any rifle since even the slimmer designs still end up getting in the way. With my larger caliber rifles, at least on a bench rest where noise tends to be amplified, I end up using both in and over ear hearing protection but the ear muffs still tend to get in the way.
