S&W has a cult like following with the M&P15 Sport II. It definitely punches well above its weight class. Bang for the buck... you cant get a better rifle/carbine.
Folks, like this Man said. A 223 is a 223, a 5.56 is a 5.56, period. Whether you pay $1000 or $3000 for your Rifle, the Stopping Power, the ability to protect yourself and those you love is exactly the same. To identify any AR15 as a Beginner's Rifle is just a bunch of nonsense. If you spent $3000 on your [first] AR15, that is your Beginner's Rifle. Like he said, if you don't have an AR15 to defend yourself and those you love, get one. You are responsible for the safety and well being of those you love. Take a Gun-Safety-Class before you even go to the Range to fire your new Rifle. He is so correct saying that it's far better to have a Rifle and never need it than it is to need a Rifle and never have it...
This is simply not true and is one of the most ignorant takes repeated in the gun community. Reliability and durability and quality control are what you pay extra money for. Your M&P is NOT a Daniel Defense. Sorry bud.

@@justinmclean5778 ya. Maybe after like 500 rounds in succession. Otherwise, no, not even close. You can absolutely shoot 5.56 in .223 barrels you just shouldn’t do it regularly. How do I know? Experience. Decades of it. The guy at your gun store is only telling you otherwise because he’s instructed to for liability reasons.
I'm shocked that by coincidence, my build is almost identical. I like the Stngr rail setup. Just picked up the Battery Assist Device from magpul- it is a small lever that bolts onto the charger release tab and places a lever by the trigger guard- great feature. Also, invest in good shooting gloves.
I just looked at this rifle this past weekend, planning on buying one soon. Thanks for posting this, very good info on what can be done to enhance this rifle!
The rifle looks great. I just ordered the same exact rifle (minus the red dot) and am planning on doing some similar upgrades to mine. How do you go about removing the front sight? I wanna get a handrail like yours and add the flip up sights but idk what is involved in removing the front sight. Is that something you were able to do yourself or did you have to bring it to a gunsmith?
I just ordered mine! This is my first pew pew purchase. My buddy let me shoot his last weekend, first time shooting an AR, it was amazingly easy to shoot and fun. I’ve fired 12gauge shotguns, 22 rifles but that’s about it. Looking forward to doing some long range shooting with it. And when I say long range I mean like 200 yards max probably. What was the model of sights? Good video!
Couple of recommendations if I may.rise armament 140 trigger.sig Romeo 5 dot.mission first tactical mags.blue force gear sling.all are budget friendly except the sling(about 65 dollars)nice rifle though.
Did you have to replace the gas block and if so wich one did you use. ? I want to install a 15" hand rail like yours but I'm trying to get what I need.. this is my first AR.
@Rick Kearney I bought a 15" hand guard. Kit and it worked out fine. Everything you need came with it except the gas tube but I was able to use the same one. On my rifle.
@KILLSHØT ULTIMATE HWK™ M-LOK BUNDLE That's the one I got. Which is the one in the video I really like it. All you would need is a gas tube or if you're able to remove the one in your AR it can fit. I used it. It was kinda tricky to remove I think I used a small drill bit to remove the small pin.
I picked up a sport II with the red dot, $799 new, man the rices are going up. But I’m not impressed with the butt stock, I need a bit more cushion with a bad shoulder, and I find it very light, your description was on, it’s light, but barrel heavy, the front grip would be a nice add on to hold that barrel on target eliminate some of the barrel drop. I see no issue with the factory sight, I like it a lot. I use dots on every thing and that’s been my favorite so far. The plastic handrail I don’t like either so that’s a very nice upgrade. Just some of my nit picking, but even left stock it’s a well made product good price point. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I hope I never have to use it for anything but sporting. Yours is looking fierce!
Damn $799? Jeez in 2018 I got mine with another mag for $550. Changed it a lot too(installed the same STNGR HWK handguard as the guy in the video) and threw on some Daniel defense fixed irons with other magpul accessories.
@@GK-mr9ko yes it’s crazy how much prices have went up. And that was a pretty good deal with sights and all. In comes the popularity of cheap imports. Even used prices are getting stupid. At least ammo is starting to make a come back.
I love your set up and rail...only thing your missing now Og if thats for home defense is a light...look into the bran NightStick I just grabbed a 1100 lumens light for mines. It has all attachments needed for install...and it would look great on your setup
The gun laws in Washington state is crazy for an AR must take a class show a certificate , background check even if u already have a concealed weapons permit, lastly wait ten days to pick up your gun and not to mention a box of amo is freaking 149$ and subject to increasing
Love the video….i plan on picking up the same AR after watching dozens of review videos. I totally agree, this gun and the $2000 gun have the same effect, no need to spend top dollar all the time
I video of a gunsmith showing the proper ways to install a low profile gas block. He added a dimple so there are two dimples holding the gas block plus added a dimple pin. He cut into the barrel a little bit so the pen could be put in, but very well secure that’s how I’m gonna have mine done but awesome. I have been frustrated Guards and guards and now I see the one I want that’s awesome. Thanks the Smith and Weston site ready is Mill spec, but I’m wondering if the variance of the guard with different barrel nuts?
Mine came with a fixed a2 front sight that doubles as my gas block I want to swap it for a free float gas block and hand guard are they all the same size it is 556 The gas block Someone at a local gun store told me I would have to mic out something to my understanding I should be able to just swap a gas block for any other gas block in 556 if anyone can give me any insight I would appreciate it
Looks great! I just bought one, hasn't arrived yet. I watched one TH-camr doing upgrades to his. Two things: He was shooting it and he admitted doing well, all the while badmouthing the gun because it is not as expensive as others. He called it a piece of sh!t. The other thing is that he actually took a piece of duct tape and covered the M&P logo. How low class is that? So thank you sir for a great presentation!
Been doing my research and seen the stnger handguard won’t work on m&p 15 unless u you change the gas block is that true? Sorry this my first rifle so I’m new to this
Hopefully, you put a commercial spec stock on there and not a mil spec one unless you upgraded the buffer tube as well, brother if not, and your stock is hard to get on now you know why
Thanks for this video. Nice build I just bought a sport 2 got the same rail with a holosun rd but I live in Commifornia so my grip is trash. Have not put it together yet. What gas block did you use?
Question for anyone that sees this, if I have an m&p sport II optics ready, will this handguard fit ? I have this iron square thing sticking up right past the stock handguard and idk if the new handguard will go over it or not
if you do not want to remove the front sight post you can buy a 3 piece drop in rail that fits around the sight. leapers make one. otherwise you will have to remove the sight post and install a low profile gas block. if you don't want to do any milling or drilling to secure it to your barrel you can get a clamp-on gas block. this guy obviously doesn't respond to comments. hope this helps
I don't know if you're still monitoring this video but can you fully use the front and rear sights despite having the optic? I'm looking at the Magpul carbine hand guard and their front and rear sights. Thanks
i'd say this is the most reliable barrel next to the mr556. though the accuracy of the mr556 is a bit better... but at a price tag of 3k or more for the mr556, its barely enough of a difference to matter. accuracy, get a precision rifle chambered in 6.5, .300 or .338. sport 2 is a damn legit 15.
If you have an armorers wrench and vice (or a second person) taking the delta ring off is easy. After that installing the free float is easy as reading instructions👍
The delta ring nut on the M&P is a pain the a$$ to get off. Proper vice and block to set the rifle in with the magpul wrench helps a lot, but I still had a friend hold the wrench on while I pounded it with a hammer to get it off.
Did you have to replace the gas block for a low profile one? I'm new to this ar and I want to make it look like something like yours. I got the m and p 15 II

@@tactical_shadow6 It's overgassed for reliability, S&W does it purposely to help prevent failure to eject issues.

Best thing about modular builds is that you can customize it to your tastes

if you do not want to remove the front sight post you can buy a 3 piece drop in rail that fits around the sight. leapers make one. otherwise you will have to remove the sight post and install a low profile gas block. if you don't want to do any milling or drilling to secure it to your barrel you can get a clamp-on gas block. this guy obviously doesn't respond to comments. hope this helps
Brah put some links in so we can find parts
TH-cam won’t let you link gun sites or gun parts anymore. It’s against their “community guidelines” .
this is what i call a build sir, its gorgeous
How’d you remove the front sight?
Not sure if you mentioned it, but I recommend a weapon light. Especially if it's for home defense
Hopefully it isn't a bother. But a weapon light? I get possibly a laser but, why a light
Links to the upgrades you bought?
i have a daniel defense v7 but im still jealous of your rifle lol and the money you have saved.
Nothing special change upgrade 👎
I don't know if you're still monitoring this video but can you fully use the front and rear sights despite having the optic? I'm looking at the Magpul carbine hand guard and their front and rear sights. Thanks
You can see the sights through the optic perfectly fine
U a real one no other TH-camr will tell u that in a intro 💯💯 stay safe everybody
Is that rail really $150?
i'd say this is the most reliable barrel next to the mr556. though the accuracy of the mr556 is a bit better... but at a price tag of 3k or more for the mr556, its barely enough of a difference to matter. accuracy, get a precision rifle chambered in 6.5, .300 or .338. sport 2 is a damn legit 15.
Looks good. Cant beat a Sport 2.
Looks clean man.
I really really like how it looks 👍
how much work was it to change from the delta ring handrail to that one? how much stuff did you have to change out?
If you have an armorers wrench and vice (or a second person) taking the delta ring off is easy. After that installing the free float is easy as reading instructions👍
The delta ring nut on the M&P is a pain the a$$ to get off. Proper vice and block to set the rifle in with the magpul wrench helps a lot, but I still had a friend hold the wrench on while I pounded it with a hammer to get it off.
