Don't own one but Marine friends have brought them to my SC property, never a problem that I know of.

Great rifles but, not an even trade. That is the sport model, around the $600 range.

Thanks and it is the basic model - if we do this he'll add cash. I'm just trying to get a handle on the quality. I've honestly not read any negatives about the gun other than people bashing the lack of F/A and Dust Cover. I mean, they're nice to have and my Colt has them but they seem to be rarely used outside of a war zone

Matt,

I have the M&P15 Sport. That's the gun I was running that day at the picnic. Like you said, it doesn't have the forward assist and a dust cover, so if you plan to crawl around with it, you might want to reconsider. Otherwise, it will do fine.

I've run 5.56 green tips and cheap .223 out of it without a single misfire/malfunction. I have both PMags and mil-spec surplus mags and all of them work flawlessly. When I got mine, I remember seeing a review of it before by Nutnfancy and he called it the best gun for the price range and that you won't miss the assist or dust cover.

If you want to get together and shoot it, just holler.

Thanks Andy, I'm glad to hear you're pleased with it!

I guess at this point I just need to see how much he cash he wants to add and make sure I can live without a pony on the receiver

It has the "5R" bbl in 1/8. Friends I of mine rave about it, very accurate.

From what I've read it did have the 1/8 (which I'd be thrilled with) but newer ones now have 1/9. I don't yet know which one this has.
