Don't Shoot. I'm a Friendly !!!

[imku]

Beg to differ...I have a M&P15 PS which is a piston rifle. The DI guns have been around for 50 years and work well. The piston guns are coming of age as more and more top gun manufacturers are coming out with their new models. My gun is a year old, never has had any malfunction and I am more than satisfied with it.

The OP stated that he was looking at the M&P15 Sport or "T" tactical models. At least that's how I read it. I viewed this on YouTube and enjoyed the review of DI vs. Piston

Thanks for all the great info guys. It sent me in the right direction for what I was looking for. The links are great and lead me to more and more links. Almost getting a brain meltdown from all the info. Love it !!!

Thanks again.

Don't worry, you won't get shot in this thread. The DI fans have their rifles all jammed up from carbon fouling, and the Piston fans spent too much on their rifles and can't afford ammo.

Ruger makes good guns, even their ARs and 1911s are huge winners right now. It's all about features and price point. Buy the gun you want and don't look back.

Great reply. It's perfect and just the crowd(s) I was looking for. Both sides of the fence.

I'm also a die-hard Ruger fan as well as with S&W. I have an old 181 series Mini-14 .223/556 that has been a tack driver from day one. I carried and shot it's reliable older brother (M-14) when I was in the ARMY. Both very reliable,easy to field strip,work on and just about indestructible. It's "mostly" original,but not stock. With my reloads and 3-9x40 wide angle scope I can chase a bean can around at 300 yards with no problem,but it's set up for 200-250 yrds. Figure anything over that (300 yrds) and the bullet is loosing effect very quickly. (That's where the 308/7.62 takes over).

That's what I'm looking for in an AR. Something to give my Mini a run for the money and have fun with too.

...Buy the gun I want and don't look back. ?!?!?!? YIKES !!! Looks like (price wise) it'll be the M&P 15 T first and then the SR556C later.

Wow I didnt realize the price difference on the SR556 Wow...not in this lifetime..I can build 3 rifles for the price of one! even without all the spare Parts.

Seems like they really like their AR's. Bout' dumped a load when I saw that price too. "Boy's and our toys".

I was also looking at the SR556 and your link covered everything I was looking for (and some) too. Thanks.
