Well bought my "First" AR

[Michael762]

Picked this thing up at a gun store here on sale for $599 I thought it was a pretty decent deal so I hopped on it after my girlfriend convinced me that I need to buy one more gun before my surgery and other bills start piling up. So here it is the Smith & Wesson M&P 15 sport 2. I know it's not a colt or BCM but it's what I could afford and I love it!

Nice rifle! Have fun

Marry that girl.

 

[padawan]

Sounds like they are both KEEPERS. Now you need a pink one for her.

 

[Expat]

Congrats. They are fine shooters from all I have read.

Nice purchase, those are nice rifles. Get some mags and ammo to go with it and I have no doubt it will serve you well! Congrats.

 

[Michael762]

Thank you all!! She's pretty awesome and definitely a keeper haha, she bought herself a ruger LC9s to accompany her M&P9c earlier that day, I'm trying to get her into rifles also, she will get her AR-15 soon enough I'm just glad she's hooked on guns also, awful for the wallet though!! She's on the hunt for a Sig Mosquito in FDE now

Very nice! For an out of the box budget AR, I hear they are pretty tough to beat!

I bought one of those as well, and it is a great little shooter. I made a few minor upgrades (trigger, buffer/spring, buttstock/pistol grip, charging handle, compensator, red dot), and my gosh, she is really a great gun.

Congratulations on both the gun and your girlfriend!

Sweet. Where did you get it for $599??

 

[dooshie]

i'm having 1 being built as we speak

 

[addictedhealer]

Congrats. Who cares if it's Colt or BCM. Gonna shoot just as straight and serve the exact same purpose.

 

[Michael762]

I picked it up at Walnut Creek outdoors in Gas city. I'm new to the AR like I said so I am very excited to learn more about the AR!

So here it is the Smith & Wesson M&P 15 sport 2. I know it's not a colt or BCM but it's what I could afford and I love it!

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Enjoy!

Great looking rifle! I just finished my first AR build, even machined my own lower. Excellent weapons.

 

[GLOCKBOY]

Nice gun. Have fun

 

[Principal Skinr]

I think the Sport 2 is probably the best AR value out there. Congrats on a smart purchase at a great price! Let us know how she shoots!

I agree.

I'd look at a 226 or a 229 classic in .22 before I'd buy a skeeter. Had one, and it was adequate, but upgraded to a "real" Sig for not very much more at all, and now have a .40/.357 centerfire conversion kit for it. This one is my "Mr. Potatohead" gun, and has a threaded barrel for the original .22 slide, and is usually shot silenced. It also has a streamlight flashlight/lazer. My initial investment in it really wasn't much more than the skeeter, but I sure have a little bit more tied up in it now. LOL.

Thank you guys for all the positive comments!! I hope to do a few minor things also to it!

Possibly Trigger (haven't messed with it)

charging handle with the large latch

quad rail

i hated the A2 sight but it is growing on me so I may keep it

sling

an optic

stock

and a different muzzle device and she should be perfect for me! But who knows I may love it the way she sits!!! I can't wait to take it out!
