S&W M&P 15

From what I've read a while back, its just a regular AR-15 with an inflated price tag.

Well yeah, but aren't they all?

Who makes the receivers? is it a brand new Smith and Wesson tooling or ?

yeah, i could build one for half what they charge. just another 1911/ AR manufacturer

I think there are too many of those now...which ones have gas pistons??

only a couple manufacturers use gas pistons. that would be nice though. no carbon, less heat, and no hot gass in the eye.

Forgive me, as I've only been shooting ARs for the past 5 years, but you got me on this one. How do you manage to get hot gas blown into your eyes? Is this a safe, proper functioning AR?

it was sort of a joke. if u know a bit about the history of the m16, the early m16s from the Vietnam era suffered from this at times.

it's not possible, the gasses go into the bolt carrier.

with the early ammo i imagine it must have found its way/leaked/escaped through the charging handle area.

And everywhere else, get some time in on it, more that a couple of thousand and you'll see. Get some wear on the parts.

i just spend the better half of the afternoon cleaning my 2 pistols and my AR. what a nasty nasty girl she is . had to use my barrel brush to scrub and scrape the carbon off my bolt.
