I need an M&P 15, I need an M&P 15, tell me why I need one !!!

[shooboy]

Well I have the itch to buy my first AR-style rifle. I have a Ruger Mini-14 but feel the need to get more tactical. I find myself suddenly drooling over the S&W M&P 15. A friend has one (I have to own a NY compliant model by the way) with about 100 rounds through it, minty condition, and he has had a nice scope and front handle that opens into a bipod put on it. Says he paid over $1000 for it and then added about $500 in accessories, and he has about 200 rounds of .223 ammo he'll throw in too. My buy it now price would be $1200. Sound like a deal to you guys ? I'll have to sell some guns to buy it, gotta make sure I have to have it............. HELP !!! Shoo

 

[HAWKEYE10]

Sounds like a lot of money Shoo. I think I would look around. $700 or $800 seems more like a good price. Don

Depends on which model it is. Even base models used to be a grand new, but are cheaper than that now. Ammo is getting down to about 33 cents a round. You can have pre 94 ban rifles right? For that much, you can get an old Colt.

 

[Rugskipper]

OK, I'll tell you why you need one. They're easy to shoot with half a trigger finger! The Devil made me say that, I swear!

By the way, he doesn't sound like all that good a friend to me; not at $1200 anyway.

Randy
I can build you an gun for about half as much

 

[shooboy]

Thanks for the info guys, I appreciate it. Curtis, PM on the way, Shoo

Of course you need one!

My M&P15 OR.....Troy rail, Emod stock, Bill Springfield trigger, ACOG 3.5x (primary), Burris RDS (secondary), GripPod, etc. And the best part is that next week I'll be using it in a 4 day carbine course.

 

[Ed333]

no...

I think the dark side is calling, time to clamp hands over ears, close eyes, and run about in circles, singing 'na, na, na, na....'

says he who just acquired a Tikka T3 Lite in .223 on outrageously sheer impulse....

at our age(s), who needs/can use 'tactical'?

I went "Old School" Tatctical. But I do think you NEED one!!

Ohhhh yeaaaaahhhhhhh.....here comes some more!

My M&P15 in an earlier stage of development. Looks OK but I wasn't happy with the Magpul hand guard. It moved around a bit (which the Troy rail does not do). I had a Millet DMS-1 mounted on it which for the money wasn't too bad. Without a doubt, I prefer the current configuration (from my previous post).

Darn you rags !!! SEnd me that M&P ! Shoo

Oh my god Stu !!! That is sweet ! Why must you torture me ??? I'm gonna have to take some money when I get my Worker's Comp award and buy me something like that. I'm not going to look at this thread again.......well, at least not for 10 minutes or so...... Shoo

 

[arizona98tj]

OK.....go here and you can surf a couple of pages of M&P15 porn.


Just to get you started.........

 

[shooboy]

Thanks Stu, checked out the gun porn. I have just two things to say and then I'm going to bed:
1) Love it !!!
2) Hate you !!!
Thanks for sharing and thanks for ruining my keyboard with drool, Shoo

 

[arizona98tj]

You are most welcome....and maybe Santa can bring you a drool bib for Christmas.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....Shoo

Yeah . . . ALL S&W fans need one . . . and there's no stoopid lock on the side of it to make the gun ugly or unsafe when you need it!

Your friend probably bought his about the time I did . . . after the last presidential election when AR15s were scarce and very expensive. (I paid over $1,000 for my OR model (without sights) and have added a Holosight I had around PLUS bought a set of M&P 15 BUIS sights for it (plus different grips, different forearm piece, special magazines, slings, etc.). Thus, I've got some money in mine one too!

I've seen my model selling new lately for about $850, so if your friend got his when the prices were outrageous, he probably doesn't know the prices have fallen as they have.

WARNING . . . these things are addictive . . . and like Harleys, no two are alike. Personalizing them is a lot of fun . . . and shooting them is fun too!

TAKE THE PLUNGE!
