ANyone own an M&P15 Sport II?

[Scott357]

Seen these on sale at Midwest Gun Exchange. Are these a nice entry level AR?

They are very nice. It's the only AR I have.

Just got mine down here in Evansville at Red Ghost. Mounted a Primary Arms red dot but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. Total AR newb so I don't really feel qualified to judge against entry AR's. Seems built like a quality firearm so far and I've heard good things around these forums so that was enough for me to pull the trigger, so to speak.

I have one, and I think it is a decent AR. Depending on the price I don't think you can go wrong with one.

Just got one a little while ago. Well worth the money and being an AR newb myself couldn't be happier. The sights should pretty much be spot on from the factory. It will need a little bit of cleaning and lubing before you start shooting.

I don't have one but have handled a few. I think the M&P and Ruger are fine choices. If you are looking for an AR and have $600 bucks then go for it.

Plus having the 5.56 barrel you're not limited to type of ammo.

I have one as well, and it is a decent rifle for sure. It has a carbine-length gas system in a 16" barrel, which is OK and it has a 1:9 twist. My other AR has as mid-length gas system with a 16" barrel which I like better for recoil management.

I am pretty surprised at how well the M&P15 Sport II shoots however. It is my go-to self-defense and CQB gun, and I am running a Vortex red dot on it. I love mine!

Pretty sure my 6 year old could shoot it. It's very, very easy to shoot well. I like the red dot sight a lot, super easy.

Got one that I use as a truck/trunk gun. I've put over 500 rds down the pipe and it has ran 100%. Oh, and the BUIS were dead on right out of the box.
