How many own a .223/5.56

[Majorlk]

I remember when the Taurus looked VERY similar to a S&W. Blasphemy.

The reason for that is the first Taurus revolvers were identical to the respective S&W models. They were built on the same tooling S&W used in its South American production facility. Taurus simply bought the entire plant, including the entire production line, from S&W. Same deal with their first line of semi-autos; they bought the Beretta plant and tooling and made Beretta pistols by another name.

It is...9mm. Love it.

I had one chambered in .40 S&W. It was the softest shooting .40 S&W pistol I ever had my hands on. Non-tilt barrel & near inline feeding from the mag meant it never jammed. The rotating barrel design radially dissipated a portion of the recoil energy, less muzzle flip.

Sold it because I trimmed down my semi-auto handgun calibers to .22lr (practice), 9mm (primary), and .45ACP (SR1911 for fun).

I've been itching to get a PX4 Storm Inox 9mm.

Just completed my custom build. I had the 15-22 first, but had intentions on a big brother. It has spikes tactical upper and lower, rock river 2 stage trigger, BCM Gunfighter charging handle, MOE front handguard, MOE trigger guard, MOE grip and MOE front grip and of course MOE Buttstock. I think I'm a walking billboard for MOE stuff. But I kept it like its little brother and all the furniture is FDE.

I have an LWRCI M6A2 with Harris bipod and eotech halo and magnifier. Will try to get pics up later. The range was getting too expensive with the 5.56 and my .40 Glock so went out a couple weeks ago and picked up the new Ruger sr22 pistol and the MOE 15-22, haven't hardly shot the big calibers since! The .22's really are a blast and you can afford to shoot so much more often.

I built my AR15 5.56 a couple years ago as my first rifle. Since then I've gotten another lower receiver to build another AR. The lower is complete as of Christmas and now waiting on a new upper. With the tax return, I decided to buy a 15-22 specifically as a trainer to my 5.56 so that I can save some money practicing weapons handling skills, reloads, target transitions, etc.

Here is my .223/5.56:

45wheelgun: Wow...sweet looking rifle....is that an original Armalite Rife-15?

BillyJack: M&P15 PSX (now wearing OD furniture) first, then M&P 15-22 MOE (FDE).

45wheelgun: Wow...sweet looking rifle....is that an original Armalite Rife-15?

It is an original Armalite AR-180 which is the semi-auto version of the AR-18. The AR-18 being the cross between an AK-47 and an M-16. It is the stamped receiver, gas piston version of an AR-15. The gas piston system is what many modern gas piston systems were modeled after. The "Beta" to the M-16's "VHS".

The quick release "no-re-zero" scope mount while not perfect was way ahead of it's time.

Mine is serial number S0003xx.

I started out with the 15-22 as others and a AR lower to start

Then to this

And now have this as well

Oh and you have to have an AR in a .308

I need to get another family picture with the new additions and the constant changes to the others.

jus bought a new m&p 15 today

i took a trip down to my local gun shop today to get rid of my sgl 31 ak 74 and to look around of course so they checked out my rifle and as i was looking i found the gun i was looking for by surprise it is a m&p 15 5.45x39 complete rifle they said they had it sitting there for a while they had it marked down to 699.99 so i took my trade in money and bought it . is seems like a well made gun but then again what s&w isn't a well made gun can't wait to get it to the range has anyone else owned or shot one of these?

It is a really nice handgun. I have a friend with a Springfield Armory XD (I think), and although his trigger is much quicker than Beretta's, I still shoot better with mine. I have a Kimber Team Match (stainless) sitting here too, but it doesn't match the family's all black color scheme!

Wow X 2!

First, I had no idea S&W ever produced a M&P 15 chambered for 5.45x39. I had to search for the product number, then located it on the S&W online product archive, S&W M&P 15R.

Product: ARCHIVE: Model M&P15R Rifle

Tactical-Life.com » New S&W M&P15R 5.45×39mm

That's pretty cool.

Was it new left-over stock? I did some online price research. My guesstimate is that the rifle originally had a MSRP of around $1,200. You got a deal.

Also it's cool that you didn't have to change calibers. I'm not sure, but I think 5.45 X 39 is much more easy on the wallet than .223/5.56.

Congrats!

5.45x39 is alot cheaper i can pick it up were i live for 12 cents a round but the russian surplus ammo is very dirty i think it should be a great training platform as it weighs about the same as my 5.56 ar if you google 5.45x39 upper one of the first websites has the upper for 499.99 plus 10.00 shipping to your front door i cant wait to take it to the range

 

[bfaz86]

it was new too sorry i forgot to say that in my last post
