CABELAS M&P 15 MOE???

[magpul83]

With a budget of $1200 you can get a top of the line AR-15, you need to be focused on Colt, BCM, Noveske or Daniel Defense instead of lower quality offerings.

Point very well taken, and I have heard strong recommendations for Colt, BCM, Daniel Defense, Rock River, etc... I checked Noveske, but holy **** those are bloody expensive. I know, you get what you pay for, but damn!

After 3+ months of research (and a slight increase to the AR budget), I bought a Daniel Defense M4 V1. Bought on Monday of this week and I will make it back to the FLL Thursday to pick it up. .

Will post pics if desired.

JSimmons...you need to verify your information, not all M&P's have the same barrel, and I spent a lot of time in the desert and in the jungle with the old A1's there is a lot to be said for a dust cover, but unless you are in southern arizona or commiefornia living in a tent, the dust cover arguments become very moot and I hate to see little flare ups with people just showing how snobbish they can be. We have members here whose opinions I really trust and like but unless you build your own or buy a "top shelf" brand from someone else they consider the M&P's lower grade, remember milspec is something that the lowest bidder has to meet. sometimes the head butting in here just makes me throw my hands in the air and go WTH!!!!

Yep, gotta love it. Even Colt says the 6290 is based off their famed M4, it doesn't say it IS, but rather based off of. Then there are new up start companies that build tighter tolerances then Colt (Core 15 comes to mind), but those aren't any good either, cuz they ain't been around long enough..... etc.

I saw someone in this thread say well what you got here is a OR with no sights... Well Duh, it's Optics ready... That Cabela's 'Moe' (I know, old post) is a good deal. It's OR price with a 100 bucks of magpul stuff on it. I've got that same hand guard on my 15A and I read people say they are no good, loose, etc. Maybe a moron mounted it, mine's tight as hell.

Spikes is starting to get a good rep. Why? They haven't been in a war that I'm aware of. Of course, neither have I. They've been around exactly 10 years. Core 15's been around maybe 3 or 4 year, they're junk. Why? Heck, for the price you can get a Colt, at WalMart no less... Are people supposed to come out with a new AR and price it at 500 bucks just to make it right cuz until it's been around the world and back a thousand times, it ain't ****. It certainly ain't worth what an AR that Law Enforcement uses (6290LE) and available at participating Walmarts here and there.

I think that's a great deal personally. I have an OR model and it had you basic furniture. I've added a CTR stock. MOE+ grip, and some MBUS. Mine has a quad rail so I was able to mount the MBUS on to the rail.

Well, it just so happens that I did build my own - after having bought, but before I started modifying my M&P - it's the first rifle on the page:

My Rifles

I don't happen to be in the group that considers a M&P to be a lower-tier gun. It shoots straight, and has digested every type of round I've tried in it. However, I want it to be more like my franken-rifle, so I've been steadily replacing parts. The only thing still original on the gun are the receiver bodies and the barrel and handguard, and the barrel/handguard will be replaced sometime later this year. I suppose by the strictest definition, I can't really call it a S&W any more.

Finally, if someone doesn't see a need for a FA or dustcover, who am I to say he's wrong? I merely presented my reasons for thinking they're a good thing to have.

In cloising, I'd like to point out that I'm not a firearms expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

FYI, Magpul has (it seems) made some quality changes to the Carbine, MOE stock. Early ones had some issues, loose fit and heat guard separation amoung them, moron installers notwithstanding.

inertia clearing video

many times in this thread where people are getting very antagonistic they talk about a video where some person who evidently swims at the shallow end of the gene pool slams his buttstock down and hurts himself, could someone please post a link to this video so I can see what everyone is talking about.
Thank You Very Much

oh oh oh!!! I saw that video, if it was the one I am thinking about. Way cool too! Done intentionally, and blew out the side of the rifle. Oh wait, I'm thinking about the video where the AR15 is submerged and fired.... ok, I got it.

shallow end of the gene pool isl a nice way of saying mentally challenged, there was some video where some guy slams the buttstock or something to clear a jam or something and it evidently goes off. I was just wondering, I hate to miss out

Oh nm this thread is from last year.

I just bought my M&P15or-moe from Cabela's in Hammond about a month ago,yeah after taxes $1060.00 out the door with no optic's, but one of my friends who has a Bushmaster I want to say for about the $775 to $800 range Im not tooo sure,but he spent a few hundred having the gas block sight switced to the same gas block thats on the M&P15or because he wanted folding sights,by the time he was done he had $600.00 or a little more in to it, all together $1380.00 or $1400.00.
I put the Troy flip up sights $189.00 on the Magpul angled fore grip $35.00 the Troy swivel push button $16.00 and a Troy VTAC sling $42.00.
the way I see it it's like a car or a motorcycle you put what you like on it no matter what it cost!!to make it comfortable (the way YOU want it)no I'm not a hunter or a professional shooter,I just go for the sport of shooting,I just happned to goto the range with a friend one weekend during the summer who owns the Bushmaster and he was telling me about what he ordered from Bud's,about 3 weeks later he showed up with it,after I shot it I really liked it!!
I looked at a few other rifles but I wanted to get something like he has,so the M&P15or was what I wanted.
after I put my personal options on it it has been a real blast to shoot.
