Kicking myself for missing out on an mp15t for sub 1k.
Nice carbine. What does the rifle weigh?
Can anyone chime in in the buffer tube question? I'm in the same boat wanting to change out the oem stock and need to know if it's mil spec or commercial. Thanks
Thought I'd post a quick update:
I've put upwards to 2,000 rounds through my M&P15T to date without a single failure. It shoots better than I do (consistently sub-1MOA when I'm shooting well).
The machine screw holding the rear BIUS to the rail loosened after ~500 rounds. I applied blue loc-tite to both BIUS fixtures and they've stayed put since. Nothing unexpected has occurred otherwise.
All of the Primary Arms optics have performed flawlessly to date. I own three of their optics (M4 style RDS, 1.5-4x scope, 4.5-14x scope). The RDS and 14x scope are on Primary Arms quick mounts and both keep zero with removal and remounting. I spend more time shooting with iron sights than I do with the optics so I'm glad they hold zero! I have the 1.5-4x set up for my sons Ruger 10-22 - it also holds zero well when removed and remounted.
I really like the Spikes Tactical ST-T2 buffer. Cycling is smoother and quieter. Felt recoil is perhaps reduced though it may just seem that way due to smoother cycling. Either way it feels great!
The KNS front sight post makes target acquisition fast! The bead atop the narrow post naturally centers in the round rear aperture. It's a bit like shooting with a RDS!
The stock trigger just keeps getting better and the ~7lb pull weight isn't impacting my shooting in any significant way as far as I can tell. I've decided to leave the trigger alone.
The other ergonomic enhancements have all worked out well. The Hogue grip fits my hand nicely, the XTM rail covers make for a comfortable and positive grip on the forend, The Gunfighter charging handle works as advertised, and the sling and swivel mounts work well for me. The VFG also works nicely for a thumb-forward grip between the rail and the top of the VFG. I like the taper at the top of the CAA - it's very comfortable. It's also very light. I was going to look for a shorter VFG but I have occasionally used the VFG with a full grip so I've decided to stick with the CAA.
I was thinking about building an AR this year but I'm satisfied enough with this one. I'd be interested in building a SBR but Washington State law prohibits it. :mad:
Nice M&P, i have one myself i got back in March im loving it, but i really got to get one of those BCM charging handles(two actually). The primary arms M4 looks good, i thought about getting one of their H1 clones or the 1-4x20 for my sr-22.
The H1 clone is a nice product as well. I have one that I occasionally use on my Browning Buckmark .22 pistol. I can definitely recommend the Primary Arms Micro Dot.
my only concern is the washout of the red dot in the light, does it do pretty good on sunny days? thanks
