S&W M&P15 Sport review by Nutnfancy
The S&W Sport AR-15 is the best value AR I’ve seen yet. It’s performance seems to exceed it’s 2012 0 price. This specimen was ran with both the BUIS (included MagPul MBUS rear sight) and an EOTECH XPS2-2 sights. It achieves impressive accuracy even with these zero magnification options: sub-inch groups with Wolf STEEL FMJ ammo, about 1.5 inches with higher quality ammo at 100 yds. The gun seems to be a 1 MOA capable shooter with some loads. Practical accuracy in RunNGun was excellent as well (shown). Part of this equation may be Thompson Center 5R rifling of the 4140 barrel featuring more gradual rifling lands to minimize jacket deformation and fouling. Tenifer-like Melonite transforms the barrel’s interior and exterior metal surface through a carburizing process. It is more uniform than chrome lining and could offer similar durability. Reliability in cold conditions was 100% in the direct gas impingement Sport with both steel and brass loads shot. Ergonomics are good to excellent with the outfitting of its 6 pos. collapsible stock, A2 grip, MBUS rear, small diameter non-heat shield lined forearm, and a decent 5.5 lb trigger. Some surprisingly high quality features are found: staking of gas key, M4 feed ramps, bayonet lug, T-mark Pic rail, 7075 T6 FORGED lower, F-marked FSB that is roll pinned, and a mil-spec buffer tube. To save money (and unneeded weight), the S&W Sport lacks a dustcover and forward assist. We did not miss them. Weight is outstanding at just 6.5 lbs …

Love your vids, Ive seen them all. I just bought a M&P 15T and I love it. I went with that gun because of this vid. Thanks for all your hard work, keep it coming PLEASE!!!
why is there snow in the stock
I bought mine for $500 last year. GREAT rifle. As to be expected from S&W.
yes, you can.
Going to purchase a Sport based on this video!!
Keep up the great work!
Can you replace the flat top rear sights with a carry handle rear sight on AR’s?
@deagleimi50ae Mp I believe refers to the model
I hope to do something like this with my son someday! Very cool. You guys are legit.
those are all ar-15s
i would like to try a gas piston AR
I got my sport last year at cabelas for $550.
I would love to see a review of the m&p pro
i got mine today at a va gun show for 649$! bump into william bethard fr top shot too
ugh mass sucks, i feel your pain….still want an XDM but noooooooooooooo
so its chambered in 5.56×45 , can it still fire .223 rem yes no maybe so???!!!…
Now i know there is a MA compliant model so this will be my next purchase and i’m really excited. My state sucks. No flash suppressors, 10 round max, fixed stocks, hot pink colors etc. Since AR’s are modifiable I can change it once I get the hell out of this nanny state.
Blah, blah, blah… you’re almost as boring as he is. gtfo… NEXT
wow funny the 27 dislikes must be from Colt AR owners….hahahaha
how do you like the Troy Mags?
Finally! A semi-auto rifle,Using the 5-Rifling for the barrel. Thank you Nutnfancy for this review.
Love that sling nutin…what sling are u running on that rifle
I loved this rifle, but sold it to get the PWS MK116, that is a very scary accurate rifle….
Ever thought about reviewing the Spikes Tactical line of AR15s? Pretty good value at around $800. I’ve never had any malfunctions with mine, but I’ve only shot about 1000 rounds through it so far and have cleaned it after 500 or so rounds. Should check them out nutn. Keep up the amazing work!
Hey Nutn, like you don’t have enough on your plate already, any data on the Mossberg MMR? (Just read about it in American Rifleman)
