Current state of S&W M&P15’s?

[the AR-15 Junkie]

I have a S&W Sport 2 with an Osprey Piston kit in it, and it runs flawlessly, one of my favorite ARs.

There haven't been any negative reviews in this thread, so far. That's fairly impressive, to me.

RKB, i know! i was thinking the same thing when i first saw this thread.

I know people who use them on a street for a duty gun. They go bang when they need to.

with a few tweaks for one out of the box. I could see that with most LEO's. they might see 100 rounds in 5 years. I patrol with a windham weaponry. Most on here would lose there minds because it did not have a pony on it.

100rds in 5 years? What podunk agency is that?

I grew up in a rural farming town, I am very familiar. Every agency I've worked at or have been around have just fired more than 20 rounds a year in their ARs I guess. I'd have to go back and look but I'm pretty sure our state qual is more than that.

my dept is 50 per quarter/ 200 per year. Side note I have an m&p15 moe right around 1700 rds. (all brass) 4150 5r rifled 1/8 midlength. It was the issued rifle for Maricopa a few years back. Castle nut staking was non-existent otherwise no issues. Nothing close to a torture test by any means. But I bought it for a spare. Price was good at the time.

I would think that their qualification course would run close to 100 rounds, and that should be per year. We have annual qual that requires 40 rounds, but then we also have 2 other training sessions in addition to that for In Service Training which requires another 50 to 60 rounds per session. My Dept only has 60 Sworn Officers. Much smaller than the Dept I retired from that has 1500 Officers.
