NEW to m4carbine.net and have ?'s
first off, thanks to any responses i get. Im new to the forums and am in the process of looking and eventually purchasing my first AR. Im on a serious tight budget and been looking into a few models. The one im really interested in is the Smith and Wesson M&P 15A. I've read 100's of reviews. Heard more good than bad. Really the only bad i've read about was 1. no dust cover and 2. no forward assist. I've read the rifle is very reliable besides the 2 facts. I am interested in fun range time and of course SHTF situations. Any comment or advice would be much appreciated. The gun is perfect also for my price range and situation. THANKS
