Which produces Stag.

In the strict, literal, linear thinking of legal reasoning, I'm correct. ;)

That and Troy Industries makes the flip sights and rails.

I have it on good authority that S&W buys parts from a few different manufacturers. The lowers might be CMT, but the rest is contracted.

As a strict, literal, linear thinker of legal reasoning myself, Grant is nearly 100% correct. The few % points he is off are no fault of his. Perhaps someday I will explain the whole (simple actually) CMT/Stag relationship but to tell you the truth, who cares?:D

Stag makes the whole weapon except for the Troy parts (and the box). ;)

so, in general, would yall consider the M&P-15 an decent rifle? I got one last week but have yet to get to the range. It looks like its nice quality and has great fit, but looks can be decieving.

I love my Smith.

It is my first AR so I am a little biased.

I've fired a couple and they are nice, well put together rifles. I wish they had used M4 style feed ramps, but that's about it.

I didn't know that CMT/Stag made barrels. What name do they use to market them, or do they all go to in-house production?

They don't. They run them through Shaw (like Colt does).

If they don't use M4 style feed ramps what style do they use?

How many styles of feed ramps are there and what are the differences? Which style is the best and why?

There's a sticky in the AR Technical Discussion forum called M4 Feedramps (http://m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=193). It should clear things up for you.

Do these S&W guns have mil-spec receiver extensions?

Being Stag, I'd expect that, but I haven't heard for sure.

Yes on the receiver extensions being mil-spec sized. Properly staked as well.

Thanks.

A friend is looking for his first AR, and the S&W will probably be a good choice for his needs.

OK, these S&W ARs look pretty good.

I went to the Hampton VA gun show today with a couple of buds from work. One friend was looking for an AR (I primed him this morning by letting him shoot my LMT). He ended up getting an S&W M&P15 Tactical and an EOTech 512.

He's pretty happy, and I think he'll still be happy after he shoots it.

I was happy to get mine and even happier after I shot it.

I think your bud will have the same experience.

BTW it is my first AR

Same for my friend.
