New toy added

[Grunt67]

Added a new toy today. Been thinking on this for a while, finally got up the courage to do it. Came from Sportsman's Warehouse in the 'boro.

Got some extra mags ( came with 1 Magpul ), got some ammo also.

Received the military discount. All in all, not a bad deal. Had it in stock at the store.

S&W. M&P 15 Sport II  16" bbl, Magpul open sights, Picantinny rsil.

The pictures.  “Automatic Rifle”.  I was wondering if that was a new brand or just some old-timey ad.

Good question.  The ad's new, I guess they use automatic like some say clips LOL.

It's definitely not auto. Wish it was, but couldn't afford it if I found one.

You should enjoy your new automatic repeater.  S&W makes a fine AR.

buying a new gun is a great way to celebrate the 4th

Certainly couldn't argue with that.  That'll probably cover the 4th, Labor Day, Tksgiving, birthday, Christmas, all rolled into one. LOL.

That they do. Did my research, looking for reliable, affordable. I'm not into the "tacticool" stuff.  I think it'll serve my purpose well.

Tacticool does sell a lot of guns & accessories tho.

You’ll enjoy that. The only thing I’d consider adding is a carry handle/sight. They aren’t any improvement over what you have, it’s only personal preference for me.

Mount a scope on it, and I expect you’ll be amazed at the accuracy you’d see from it.

That does come in handy & sights are good with the handle. The Colt AR I had & my M16 had the handle. Guess I'll see how these work out before making changes. My old eyes & progressive lens don't work well with irons anymore. Likely go to a dot or holographic of some sort. Stay tuned I guess.

These rear sights have 2 flip up apertures. One large & one small. All fold down flat.

My one AR is this rifle.

I have not had a malfunction to date over several thousand rounds.

I would recommend to anyone looking for their first or next AR

I bought the Mag-Pul version a couple of years ago. I've been happy with it. 

Now you just need to dress it up a little.

I carried an M-16 in Vietnam. Have never pulled the trigger to purchase an AR but do have a Ruger Mini 14 Ranch Hand late model that fires 556 or 223.

I carried the M& P out for a spin today. Went up to Westmoreland to see a good buddy of mine. He had a makeshift target set up across his pond, he said was 100 or 110 yes. Forgot my range finder.

So I fired a few shots, hasn't been sighted in, I put 2 shots about an inch &1/4, open sights. No idea what to expect. Believe it'll be good to go once I adjust a bit.

Well pleased. No pics, didn't have my phone.

Now you need one of these
