I already have a Colt 6920 as my first AR and was thinking of getting a second one.
However, I have a friend that bought an AR and maybe ran 2-4 boxes of 223 through it and put it in a case for the last 3 years.
The AR is a basic S&W M&P15. Not the "sport" but the basic model with the carry handle. The rifle has been taken to the range once (...that I know of) and shot 2-4 boxes, was cleaned and put away in a case under his bed. The guy does not hunt and has not carried the rifle anywhere. It basically looks brand new and comes with the stock 30 rounder it came with. He bought no extras for it at the time. No Magpul furniture...no optics. 16 inch barrel...1/8 twist
He said, "gimmie 700 bucks and it is yours."
So is it a bad idea to save 300 bucks on the second 6920 Colt and grab this rifle? This will be a sort of "back up" AR for me and kept pretty much stock. Not used for matches or classes either. I might put an Aimpoint Pro on it like my current Colt 6920 but that is it.
If I did buy it as a backup...are there certain things that need to be changed right away?
Thought I'd ask before I bought. Don't know much about the M&P15.
Thanks,
