Has anyone had any Experience with the Smith and Wesson M&P15 Sport, What are they like? Are they reliable and accurate? What should one be paying for it? Are they compatible with other ar 15 parts?

AR10 is also a lot heavier.
Ar15's are for girls or people who do three gun!!!
Have you ever actually had the carry one for a considerable distance?Quote:

They get a good wrap for what they are.
They don't have a ejection port dust cover, as well as no forward assist, both not game changes unless you are on active duty.
I would rate them as a budget but good quality AR15.
Their barrels are 4140 steel, so not 4150 or CHF etc...
Just my 2 cents...
How often is the forward assist used?
My limited experience with AR's I never used it
Sure have not the lightest granted.The dpms g2 is better in that departmentQuote:

I have never used my forward assist on any of my Spikes AR's, and probably only a few times on my old Bushmaster & NEA a few years ago.Quote:

Very accurate in either reloads or Hornady training ammo, I'm not rolling around in dust or mud so no need for a dust cover for me. They're just a budget AR platform - you can easily spend more money on something else though.
The forward assist has a use which is if you want to close the bolt quietly you ease it forward with the charging handle and then give the forward assist a tap to make sure it's fully in battery.
A digit! Appreciate it!Quote:

Spear 7 round mags work brilliant in DPMS and other ARs.
Tactical Imports has Lancer 7 rounders, I would get them over the Spears, but he is asking $75 each.
My AR came with a different 7 round plastic mag that isn't the same as current Spear mags. I think brought three spears but they don't hold the bolt open when the mag is empty so not that impressed.Quote:

What the world really needs is a metal 7 round mag so you can seat your pills further out. That or sensible gun laws that let me own normal magazines....
Would you like a unicorn with that order sir?Quote:
