SW-MP15-small.jpg


I added a UTG red/green dot sight and burned through 200 rounds of 55 grain Aguila .223 in what felt like 15 minutes. MAN I love the sound of this AR-15! The teeny-tiny holes it makes in paper -- as compared to my .45ACP 1911 -- will take getting used to, but that supersonic *BANG* is awesome.


i have that exact scope... how well does it hold zero for you... mine gets iffy after a few range sessions but the adjustment is usually small... just enough to annoy me lol
 
NEW QUAD RAIL AND VERTICAL GRIP-POD..... i love it so far, its a little heavier but also feels more solid.. the original plastic hand guard had some wiggle to it that drove me nuts... but the grip pod tightens up nicely and feels much better for my shooting style.. i used to grip the mag well.. i feel more planted with this thing on there :D

We've only been out to the range with it a few times, but haven't noticed any drift; at least not compared to my personal accuracy.

Do you have the rail screws torqued down to 35 in-lbs? I found that this is a bit more snug than you'd expect when using the supplied Allen wrench.

Does this count? S&W old school build, Viet. tiger stripe

Just finished a project that I've been wanting to do for a while. I bought the S&W lower receiver and ordered the rest here and there. Decided to duracoat with the Vietnam Tiger Stripe, speckled and cleared. As you can see, it is different. Some may like it, some will not. Just wanted something with an old school look.

I got the crazy idea recently to build myself another rifle. I've been hunting locally for stripped lowers to start the build of my lower (I already found an upper that suited my needs. For grins I stopped by my neighborhood LGS yesterday to look at their stock and what did I stumble across... a M&P15PC complete lower! So now I have a growing family of M&P15 rifles (and a M&P15-22 to keep them company)...

My new (and now complete) M&P15PC:
S%26W+M%26P15PC+-+JSE+Upper+-+Nikon+M-223+scope+-+Right+Side+-+111812.jpg


It's slightly older cousin:

One of mine... went with my son yesterday to the range to test his first rifle... he had a lot of fun making that metal can dance!! Anyway... my M&P is in the photo... :D

I used to have a red dot installed on the AR-15 and then got a set of iron sights... can't hit squat with the iron sights and can't seem to get them setup correctly, almost given up on those...need to get a scope, searching the forum for recommendations on inexpensive units that work well.
 
Done for now.

I posted a thread about simplifying my 15-Sport. I wanted it nice and light again.

Here are a couple low q pics of mine. And yes, I know the scope mount is on backwards - I was in a mega rush to get her all together, cause I have patience issues. Better q pics to come later.

Is that the standard height magnifier mount? I like the way it looks. My x-mas list may be getting some additions

It looks higher than a lot I've seen. It's a "TMS AR15 Flat Top One Piece Ring Mount" I picked up on Amazon.
 
JaPes,
What about your mount, is it standard height? I like absolute co-witness, so I'd like to find a magnifier mount that would allow that if I can. My wife has approved all of my presents for my Sport. This scares me, I don't know what she want but I'll go with it while I can :D

I'll post before and after pics of my sport after x-mas, so you guys can see what you made me do :D

The dot is mounted on a PA high cantilever mount. The magnifier is on a PA standard height swing away mount. Looking through my irons, the red dot hovers at the center of the optic.
