True that Dragon is on point. The BCG on the sport is quite nice actually compared to alot of other factory rifles, not too worried there.
post your M&P sport round count

Only about 200 or so in 6 months of ownership. That's why the sport suits my needs perfectly as a fun range toy.
I usually shoot my Mosin Nagants when I head to range and have a higher rounds count thru those in fact.

Well I have 1000 rounds of Fed 5.56x45 XM193F 55gr coming so my round count might go up. I have 400 rounds here already, I guess I could go do a little more shooting. But as a Jarhead I hate to waste bullets. Does that make me strange, got a ton of bullets but am afraid to go waste them. Might have to fend off a PDog invasion.

Smith & Wesson states that they have shot 170,000 rounds between two Sports (I think that is the correct AR) with no failures. I don't think any of us will be doing that anytime soon!
But I have about 1500 rds thru my Sport AR with no failures of any type. Wish I could shoot more!!!!

So far I have fired 240 rounds of federal 55 grain FMJ, 120 rounds of Federal 62 grain green tip FMJ, 240 rounds of PMC 55 grain FMJ. The only problem is the PMC is a dirtier round so I am sticking with Federal from now on.
Total so far is 600 rounds plus what im going to shoot tomorrow at the range 8 ).
BTW I found out what the problem was with the rifle there was a burr sticking out on the back of the rail causing the sight to be off to the left. removed burr all ok now lol so simple I can smack myself for not checking for that first thing.
Ok just got back from the range and I just shot 300 rounds of Federal 62 grain green tip with one misload ( my fault ) the first round in the mag wasnt seated all the way.
New total is now 900 rounds and a big smile on my face.

This is not a scientific experiement. This is a thread to get a feel for how the Sport is holding up. At least that's my interpretation. Seems like certain people want to have a problem with anything they can.

I don't think anyone on here is bashing the sport.
What I do see here is (not just this thread) people needing to justify their sport, why, I have no idea. It's a rifle, it shoots. You, most likely being a civilian, probably don't have the means (money) to wear it out.
Just enjoy the rifle, just my observation, but some sport owners go around with a chip on their shoulder. Who cares what someone else thinks of your rifle. This board could never turn in to a m4carbine.net type board, 3/4 of the threads on here are about sports. Basically the same threads, just started over and over. They are titled with the word 'Sport', as if to say, 'hey, I don't have a real AR and I'm annoucning it to the world'. When in reality, it's just another AR, like all the others that vary in the features they come with/without.
Do we really need a thread that says 'what scope for my sport'? A scope for the sport is going to be the same as a scope for any other AR type rifle and it's going to depend on what you want to shoot and how you shoot your rifle.
If I'm not mistaken, the 'sport' is a M&P, just like the A, the X the whatever. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I don't think anyone on here is going to tell the difference in shooting a rifle with a melonite barrel, chrome lined barel or CMV barrel. I doubt there are too many expert marksmans on here that are really THAT good. You all would probably get the same groupings no matter what barrel was on your rifle and no matter what barrel you have, you will probably never wear it out.

Yup. This is quickly turning into another Sigma sub-forum. Little worthwhile discussion, just overly defensive people justifying their budget-priced pick from the product line.
the thread or the whole forum?
M&P Sport owners post no differently than the bcm, spikes etc crowd, however differentiate there rifle by adding sport.
Seems certain people really have nothing positive to add, and may not even own an M&P. I myself try to post info that states it's a great product, not some tinker toy as it's been referred to. Bottom line if you want to purchase an M&P Sport, you ask people who own, not an over opinionated group of tacticool owners who believe they speak from the AR bible.... As it's all a matter of opinion.

Today there was a colt AR right next to me and there was almost zero difference in the rifles as far as performance. I am kinda interested in the thread to see how many FTF and FTL there are and what Brand of ammo was used.
