OK I'm sick of hearing there are better choices.....for the money I don't think so.
The S&W hits most all the points on our comparison charts.....except 1:9 v 1:7 , I'd rather have 1:9 more versatile. they don't meet bbl specs because S&W makes their own and they are probably better than Colts as TC is making them, TC bbls are known for their accuracy. And as to dbl heat shield handguards who cares I'll be changing them out for a rail system ala M73 anyways.........
So besides LMT which will cost way more and a COLT again cost way higher what are these better choices? And why are they better?? Sure as heck IS NOT a NOVESKE.........................
Enlighten me........
I think RK just wants to hear how SW is better than a BM![]()

I own a M&P15x and it is a great rifle that I purchased during the frenzy. If I could do it over it would be either a Colt 6920 or now also the choice of the Daniel Defense XV.

I own a Bushmaster.I've no complaints, it works.They were a good value for the money HOWEVER......I am planning on upgrading the BCG,buffer, and possibly the barrel to a 1:7".I bought this rifle with the accessories I wanted already there for a good price.IMHO I think the Bushmasters are a little underrated.
That being said (and before everybody gets too pissed off) THE S&W's ARE A BETTER RIFLE.
The quality control on some early ones was a little off, but that's over.Better fit, finish, and materiels for the cost make it a way better buy.Bushmasters are overpriced these days.Plus, the S&W's have a reputation for reliability that does exceed Bushmaster's.I like my Bushmaster, but I can't honestly say it's a better rifle.

Pat Rogers seems to like S&W ARs. May 2008 issue of S.W.A.T. and I believe he has stated it at other times also.
Other than the barrel not being mil-spec what is the problem with M&P15s? If they used a mil-spec barrel they would be near the top of the chart. The barrels S&W uses are very accurate and from what I have read get a good round count and keep up that accuracy.
If were were taliking equal money I could see why Colt would be better but with the same standard equipment the Colt is 50%+ more.

I just burned my BM in a funeral pyre.It served me well.But alot of people said it was crap so I believe it.Right now I am walking across lake Erie with my 6920.No problems.The BM,check the staking...if it's not right....get a MOACKS.Oh.... I'm starting to sink.....I chant ....Colt,LMT,Noveske....thank GOD I'm walking on water again...better get back to shore.Whew....made it.
Bottom line...does BM make a POS rifle...No.
Actually they make some of the best barrel's.
Are they TDP?Nope.
Will a Bm ever let you down?Maybe.
Will a Colt,Lmt,Noveske ever let you down?Maybe
Does BM make a gun comparable to the BIG 3 in quality?Nope
My 1st AR was a BM...it has served me well...just check it out when you get it.
Alright...As Johnny Torch used to say......FLAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
