I currently have two that I am happy with. A palmetto upper on a KE lower and a recent production Stag M4 which seems to be a good quality basic M4. A couple thousand rounds through each with no issues. I have a Primary Arms 1x6 LPVO on the PSA, which I like a lot, and a ACOG TA31F on the Stag. My problem is that in putting the acog on the stag, I now have a homeless Eotech! I need to fix that with a new AR of course. I’m looking at the 700-1000 range. The M&P 15 comes in at the lower end of that range And seems to get good reviews as far as quality. I have never owned one. What do you think? Worth it or not? Just spend a little more on something else? Or good enough? I’m not an ”operator” and never will be and I don’t mind upgrading things on it as I go along. The plus I k ow of with the M&P is that I would leave quite a bit in the current budget for ammo.
