I have this rifle and I changed out the stock, handguard and the handgrip at nominal fee (from Magpul). Also added Bravo company vertical foregrip and threw on Holosun red dot and a sling and I couldn't be any happier. It looks badass and shoots super accurate. So happy with this rifle.
My friend just bought his first AR, and I forwarded your review to him. This was maybe one of the best firearm reviews I have ever watched. Informative and direct, yet easy to understand. Well done my friend. I'm sure it will help him greatly.
I've had mine for a while now.
I don't even want to try a different one.
Love it. It shall be mine till they pry it from my cold, dead hands.
Thank you, great video. I just purchased this on Friday, waiting for it to arrive, can’t wait! This will be my very 1st AR.
Just picked mine up three days ago
Have fun take it to the range a lot enjoy it.
Wingin It with Irish Colleen-Congratulations on your purchase. Enjoy.
Brian Daniel-Is this your 1st AR15 ?? Are you enjoying it ?? I gotta know.
I just purchased mine now I’m waiting
Bought this as my first AR. Was the last one at my Rural King. Got it for $679. Couldn’t pass it up at that price. Great video. I subscribed!
I love this rifle. I've owned 5. America needs budget rifles to maintain a republic.
Exactly! Most of us simply can't afford the 2k dollar rifles, so these "budget" rifles are absolutely essential to keeping the republic armed. I don't even like calling these "budget" or "entry level" because they're an absolutely superb option.
Well Said!
John Smith an Aimpoint PRO, and a new trigger. Light and sling as well, of course.
John Smith I would say a good optic is a start.
Buy now... the new incoming president has stated he intends to BAN ARs :( currently I live in a free state
Nice thing about the AR platform is your never truly stuck with what you buy because you can easily change things
Hey... You've produced a very good, accurate and well-informational presentation for those of us who are not 'Gun Guys'! Thank you very much! I'll follow-up on your accessories recommendations (important to accessorize well!).
Great video. Thank you! In a world of noisy, goofy firearms channels with sometimes ignorant or biased narratives, this is refreshing!
And I love my Sport II. It's simply an outstanding rifle for the money.
Peace.
Outstanding review. Thank you. Clear, concise and very useful information. Please, keep it up.
Thank you. Good review. Just bought one today, my first AR. Did my research and you confirmed what I thought I was buying, A really good first AR. Can't wait to pick it up and hit the range. Thanks again.
Great vid production and instruction. Keep up the good work.
Great review, I just got an M&P too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the excellent review. Watching your review gave me ideas to get the Nikon P-223 scope and the Wilson Combat QD scope mount.
One Of The BEST Presentations - STILL - Midway Thru 2019 ! Bravo Sir
Paid $800 for one today (new) in Texas. Came with 1 30rd mag.
Paid 850 $ yesterday in Miami
$700 plus tax in TX 2 weeks ago
paid $929 plus tax $996 in indiana 😬
ryne whitaker Painful but at least you have it now.
I paid 899 the other night online when I ordered it. Tax and fees were $950ish. My first AR
Thanks for the review. I bought mine today and will get it next week. Can't wait
Great rifle! I love mine. No problem with the barrel. Good accuracy. I love that they kept the bayonet lug (if for no other reason than to piss off the Coasts.) I believe S&W went with the cheap, unlined plastic handguards because most owners replace it first thing with Mlock, keymod or quadrail handguards. That being the case, they're saving money (and saving the customer money) with the plastic handguards (which will be replaced anyway.)
Yep my rifle used to be plain like his I changed out the stock and pistol grip and handguard to Magpul and changed out the charging handle and bolt carrier group and that's the other beauti of the AR platform
Great points on the hand guard! The first thing I did before even shooting it I put on a decent quad rail and magpul ctr stock, afg2 and k2+ grip and I love it. Bought it for like 550$ so after upgrades I'm at like $700 and have a really solid rifle
Amazing video, learned a lot. I'm getting my sport II on the 16th.
This is a great video because it is simple and the presenter gets right to the point and stays on topic. Too many videos the presenter is all over the place. Well done.
Awesome video! I recently purchased mine and love shooting it all day. S&W knocked this out of the park.
Great base model AR. (In my humble opinion)
Grab one and get to tricking it out to your liking.
AZ Trigger, this has been immensely helpful in looking for a first sporting rifle and wanting value....good discussion of sighting and accessories options as well....may end up getting one of these vs. a Saint. Thanks Again!
I'm finding these videos very informative, I happened upon this M & P 15 by chance when I clicked on an e mail of a weekly news update from the Good Patriot website, and was looking through some of the firearms that I seen, and I've always been drawn to the AR's platform and had often thought about owning one when this particular time I noticed the price tag was under $900 I knew that was a good deal as I'd been checking them for a few years, so I figured I'd buy myself one Christmas gift this year. Now I'm waiting on my 3 day waiting period/back ground check and I take my Concealed Weapons permit class December 19th
Bought one tonight! Great useful vid. THANKS!
Great, quick, concise review!
Thank you Sir. Great review. Thumbs up and off to Pt II
Just bought this as my first AR. So excited
Good video... Think I’ll try the sling option!
Wonderful explanation!! I definitely learned something. Thx for sharing!
Great review! Got mine today. My first AR.
Great video,very informative and well represented
Great video, going to pick mine up today. It was not any easy find due to all the activity in purchasing firearms.
Great video! Thanks! I have a Ruger and a Diamondback. Thinking of adding this to my collection. Thanks again.
Awsome presentation thank you.
I bought one a week ago, started buying furniture right away, got a quad rail forearm, red dot sight too. Very happy with this rifle. Mine has the forward assist and dust cover, which I'm kinda glad about. I think I did very well for the money on this rifle.
Yes u did....my freind own a one and loves it.
How much does this rifle usually go for?
@@thegdoat1 about $500 brand new
@@thegdoat1 500-600 600 for the combo which comes with gun bag and grip with flashlight
How does your red dot see over that dinosaur of a front A frame sight.. Lol
Great video! I just bought one of these and have been searching for information on upgrades and accessories. Most say that you basically need to upgrade every part, which defeats the purpose of buying one in this price range. Your advise was clearly meant to improve the rifle as it is, which I really appreciate
How do you like this rifle ? Any issues ? I heard the earlier ones had jamming issues ?
Just got one yesterday, this is a great video!
Thanks for the overview!
Getting mine Friday. I'm all pumped up. I sold my 1st one and regreted it evey sense
Picking mine up this Thursday!
I just bought one this weekend at my lgs with magpul furniture for $375 new in box!! I wasn't even planning one buying one, but for that price I couldn't pass it up.
if I found that price I would buy 3 of them, especially with the magpul furniture
Where did you buy it from please send me a link I want to get one
Are you sure you didn’t purchase the M&p 15/22 not the sports 2?
@@pollolocoz5995 Positive, they were doing a tent sale and taking almost any offer on what they put out on the table. Price on the box was $679.00 and I offered him a low ball number for $350.00 and he came back at $375.00 and said don't tell anyone. I bought a Glock 19 gen 5 for $379.00 at the same time. It was something we probably wont see again.
@@georgeconway6550 I'm sorry I didn't see your post earlier. It was at Frog Bones in Melbourne. They were doing a tent sale for one day only trying to clean out what they had a bunch of. We probably wont see another sale like that.
Nice rifle, but I went with the ruger AR 556 couldn't pass up on all the great stuff that they put on it like the D ring and the no glare A post and the 1\8 twist barrel. They also made a really nice backup flip up site. God bless y'all.
Great video! I just ordered this rifle the other day, my first ever firearm. I can’t wait to pick it up!
Ha, Me too! I guess we are part of the MeToo movement lol
lee taylor it’s a man’s MeToo movement!
Seriously proud of you for joining the AR PATRIOT NATION. Hope not to need them but good to be prepared. 🇺🇸🙏✌👍🇺🇸 FOREVERMORE !!!
George Hutcheson thank you! I’m proud to join!
My first AR..just ordered it the other night. Can’t wait to get it!
The first addition I bought for my M&P 15 II is the Sig Romeo and Juliet. Very happy with it.
I like the content I’ve been looking at m&p AR15 you did a great job making points on the rifle and made up my mind
Just got mine, cant wait until i can take it to the range!
Great review; thanks!
This is my second AR I own and I changed the furniture and it is freaking awesome
Magpul furniture optic of your choice BCM BCG and MOST of all trigger of your choice PSA nickel plated or whatever is a great budget choice all in all a perfect starter rifle I’ve turned on 2 people to it as there first AR and they love it also is a solid extra rifle as in my case. looking to get the AR10 sport now with the new PA scope gonna be sick
Does anyone remember the old style fixed stock having the compartment with the metal field cleaning kit inside? I liked that feature, It'd be nice if they could design a collapsible stock that still could house that or some other small cleaning kit.
Great video, with lots of info.....
Love simple, change the furniture to what I like, not into a bunch of crap hanging off my rifles. All my optics have QD's so I can remove before placing in the safe as I'm low on space. The M&P was first and still my favorite. BTW great video.
Good video, just what I needed to hear. I'm ready to switch from a old dinosaur Russian sks to an AR; keeping the sks btw, cause that thing just plain works, and is almost indestructible. I think the AR is the way to go these days though. I like how you emphasize keeping the rifle simple. The price is right for that thing, and your straight forward review of it is all I needed
excellent vid...thanks
I think you did an excellent job on this. I got a chuckle when your dog ran in.
Great video, very well organized and well presented. As an S&W Sport II owner, myself this information is worth reviewing every now and then to help me resist the temptation to over accessorize my rifle. ........ BUT, for heaven sake, why so many advertisement interruptions?
Love your videos (subbed off of this series). I have one of these rifles, and absolutely love it-- More importantly, I have *confidence* in it after putting it through it's paces at the range!
That said, after a close & aggressive "1st inspection,'' I discovered the trigger pin holes were slightly out of spec, which allowed the trigger group to become ''out of position,'' and thusly jam the rifle. It's a common problem with ''entry ARs,'" apparently, so *CHECK YOUR TRIGGER PINS!* After an easy installation of a $15 set of 'anti-walk' pins, my rifle is a *badass* on the range!
I just ordered this rifle today. My first AR. Thanks for the informative video.
How do you like this rifle ? Any issues ? I heard the earlier ones had jamming issues ?
@@markboulanger1113 I do like it. Runs 55 grain 5.56 like a dream. It was on at 100 with iron sights right out of the box. I upgraded the handguard and added a Witt Machine sound mitigation device. It's pleasant to shoot
@@blackngoldfan2004 Thanks so much, Phil. I will get one.
@@markboulanger1113 You won't regret it!
Very good video. I just got the Sport II. Do you have a video that goes over cleaning and maintaining the Sport II, or could you make one? It'd be most helpful to those of us who have it as our first rifle.
Classic look of the AR love it
great video. love mine,....loooove it! most comfortable rifle I have ever shot. true extension of the body.
Adam Graves nice. Have you made any mods?
excellent explanation,picking up mine tomorrow. I belong to a women's gun club and have tried many but truly this one I liked the best.
This is great thank you.
Great vid.....well spoken....subscribed.
Picking mine up tomorrow. First time AR owner and looking for something to build upon.
Being a bigger person, I made some comfort upgrades to mine.
1- A Magpul MOE SL hand Guard (Carbine Length), The extra length allows me to hold it a little farther out. It gives me more control.
2- A Magpul MOE+ Pistol Grip, It rubberized, overmolded with a beaver tail. it fills out my hand better and you get a better grip than the stock one IMO.
3- A Magpul MOE SL-K stock, It's slightly smaller and curved on the bottom which lets it fit into my shoulder better, plus the rubber butt pad makes it grip on the shoulder better.
Excellent review bro just subscribed i do my homework before i buy anything cuz i dont want a lemon i agree it's great the way it is and i looked at tht vortex scope already a sling and the forward hand grip your set cheers
"98% won't even notice". You used that phrase twice. Refreshing. The other 2% would use their arrogance to down play this exceptional AR-15. Thanks for your honest, straight forward approach.
Very good Video well Spoken
Great video!
Mine is being duracoated in Tiffany and stainless steel colors with red dot for $800. I need a silencer though. Very good video!
I just ordered this the other night or my first AR. I hope it came with iron sights because I want them
I just got my AR 15 yesterday can't wait for it to be delivered to my FFL thanks to Grabagun by the way you have a great video one of the best
Great video thanks
Thank you great learning video!
I own the Sport 1 (1-9 twist). Awesome rifle, but I only had two issues - the picatinny rail seems out if spec, tried two different holosun RD and both slide on the picatinny with recoil... with it fully tightened. I had to change out the extractor spring at app. 2500 rounds due to failure to eject.
i can't wait to get mine.
Is there a M&P comparable model that has the heat shields or is that an option to add on? Thanks...enjoyed your review.
Wow such a beautiful firearm
Got mine last week, but it didn't come with the iron sights. Being a new AR owner, what are the iron sights this one came with? Also, I've been doing a lot of research and am uncertain as to which red dot optic to get. I'm leaning towards the Sig Sauer Romeo5, but I'm liking some by Holosun as well. Granted, Eotech optics would be ideal, but I can't justify that cost right now. Great video, thanks!
Thanks for the information!!
I've purchased one but have to wait until May 14th to have it in hand (Thanks to Washington State & I-1639).
Can't wait to get out & shoot!!!
Michael Robitaille what online store did you use
@@drivem42 I am going through a Brick & Mortar FFL in West Richland (Talos Tactical).
These are like the Honda Civics of rifles. Good price, good quality, and you can customize the hell out of them. Great starter AR.
Got mine yesterday already got free floating hand guard by unique Ar on it very nice rifle not that different from my colt
What are your thoughts on this rifle vs. the Radical Firearms RF-15 SOCOM? I found one for about $175 cheaper than the Sport II. Both have the MLOK hand guards, but the M&P that I found comes with the Crimson Trace red dot. I figure for the money saved, I could get a nicer optic on the RF-15.
I have one. I like it but I did remove the factory handguards and replaced them with Magpul handguards. It's hard to remove pull down the Delta ring to remove the handguards, so I bought a special tool designed to pull the Delta ring down. I also replaced the standard charging handle with an ambidextrous Radeon Raptor charging handle.
horatiodreamt I just used my hands
@@yoyoleone: That's good. But my rifle is new and the handguards were almost impossible to move down. They weren't like the ones that were on my M16 rifle in the service many years ago. Those rifles had been handled many times over the years and the handguards were easy to remove. Not so on my civilian AR.
Mine about 500 rounds into it ,broke the gas key screw head so I had to replace the BCG.After that it's been going well
I've got the sport1 & sport2 .I shoot them both out in the So. Idaho desert its usually dusty n windy out there ..if u lube n clean after shooting the dust cover is not necessary.Never needed the forward assist,but when 2 came out with dust cover n forward assist.Had to have it!..Both have been awesome! 2,500+rnds out of sport1-1,000+rnds on 2..not one malfunction!..S&W!
great video, just got one of these, just waiting the 3 days then off to the range!
Just bought this firearm two weeks ago. Out 60rounds through it so for. I'm like you I like the simplicity of the rife. Will only add red dot.
I would still like the heat sheilds !
Wilson discontinued the Accu-Rizer mount. Wondering about suitable quik-mount alternatives
Military didn't issue these. We were issued the Colt M-4. Quite different than the M&P Sport 2
Iraqveteran8888 did a meltdown on this one shooting full auto (something this rifle isn't even meant to do) and this still fired while it was on fire. You can't beat the quality for the money, one of the best rifles out there. I threw some magpul furniture on mine and called it a day.
If you want this rifle to be extremely accurate, do you need to free float it, adjustable trigger screw and a trigger job. I bought my rifle about five months ago end it was shooting OK but nowhere near where I wanted it to be. After free-floating it and working on the trigger I can cover a three shot group at 150 yards with a quarter. When I first got the rifle I was kind of disappointed because I wanted it extremely accurate for long shots cause I do coyote hunting, but now it’s a striper no joke.
Just got this from my wife for Christmas and shot it today as well
My first AR-15 is a S&W MP-15, exactly like the one here.
Only thing I changed out was the heat shield if you want to call it that. Thing seemed it would melt if I shot another full magazine.
I remember how hot the M-16’s got after 100 rounds were fired.
And how hot the spent brass was when it went down the neck of your flak jacket.
Fire 3x10 shot stripper clips out of an SKS the forend is too hot to hold.
I just bought this unit today.. 4 years later after the video. I to am still very impressed with it. Would would you recommend for a red dot sigh also a scope? Please list a link to each.. Thanks and God bless
