Good thread guys. I just got a S&W M&P15OR. I am not worried at all. Has anyone checked into other weapons that have gone Kaboom besides the S&W?
For instance:

I think I have read somewhere about a Bushmaster also......Anyway it is not just the S&W Ar's.......Anyway, Like this site this is my first post
I talked to S&W service dept while my m&p15OR was in for service, realigning the gas block.. should have it back monday. Anyhow, I brought up this subject. He said it's very very rare. Maybe 4 times a year, all S&W firearms. No fatalities. He said if it's an AR typically the lower blows out and bolt, causing no injuries. They inspect in lab, if it looks like it's a metallurgical issue, they go to next level to verify. I'm guessing mag particle and x-ray. If it's an ammo issue, which is typically the source responsible, result details goes to the ammo company to resolve. He said they usually replace firearm or cash back. Again, this is very very rare and not an S&W issue.
