    Keep the BM... lube it, shoot it, inspect & replace worn parts. Use new G.I. mags and good brand name ammo. Enjoy your new carbine.
    I'm asking cause i bought/ordered the gun dirt cheap, I could sell it and make money that would pay for the S&W.

    Well then never pass up a good deal. If you can make money and then upgrade do what you need to do.

    Exclamation ain't nothing wrong with BM

    there isn't anything wrong with a BM that a little tweek here and there won't fix.

    i would say just tune the thing up a bit and you should be good to go.


    if you hadn't all ready bought it i would say give the charles daly a look--hell i am considering one--or an upper at least--

    Based on what I have seen if I had to buy one of those TODAY I would skip both and buy a Charles Daly M4 - the one I just got looks very good and without even shooting it yet I would take it over either of the other 2 brands you mention - at this point in time

    Time will tell but as I have said elsewhere on M4C they (CD Defense) are off to a good start

    FYI; Mossberg has had US Military M4 barrels contracts before - I am not aware of any real issues with them

    cheers

    Doesn't sound like you tried to fire Wolf ammunition out of any of those S&W rifles you tested , Wolf Ammo jams my S&W up , just about every round , with any magazine I use . That being said , it seems to shoot everything else fine , and the accuracy is very good , two inch groups from a rest at 75 yards with an Eotech without even trying hard .

    I got an M&P 15X about two months ago and I am nothing but pleased. Yet, I have had (and still do) a BM for about three years and it still spits rounds downrange with the proper care. So, even though I think that the Smith is a better rifle, if you've got it, shoot it, especially if it is your first AR.

    accuracy

    I'm currently strugling with a Sig 556 for accuracy and I'm considering trading for the M&P and now the Daly Rifle is in the mix. I currently shooting the Sig at 1.25 MOA at best and more like 2MOA consistantly. Can I expect to see some improvement from either of these rifles or is it just the shooter.

    Thanks

    I think shooting wolf is hit or miss between models. there have been people with all makes and models that have trouble with wolf. That being said, my m&p15A eats wolf like thats its job.

    +1 for the whole post.
    I did have gas block problems with my 15T, Since fixed, runs great. But i think the Charles Daly LE is the better buy. And honestly now that i have have the Troy rail, I'm thinking of trading it out for a JP modular forend.
