The S & W is a fine AR-15, my buddy has one, I have RRA, COLT, BUSHMASTER, STAG all of those are of fine quality
I just recently picked up a s&w m&p15 Sport model as my first AR and I love it!!! The sport model has no dust cover or forward assist, comes with one pmag, and has sights. It is ready to go right out of the box and IMHO is a great rifle!
