In a market filled with custom and high-performance AR-15 rifles, the M&P15 line offers shooters a quality and classic AR that’s range ready for almost all your shooting needs without the hype or expense of extra high-end features.
Sure, they are pretty much as basic as you can make an AR-15, but sometimes basic is better. That might explain why Smith & Wesson’s M&P15 is a dominating seller every single month here at Guns.com. If you’re not looking for a bunch of marketing bells and whistles filled with high-speed, low-drag extras that few shooters ever really use, then the M&P15 should be a welcome breath of fresh air.
In a way that’s hard to explain, this made me even more excited to test these guns than many of the custom and tactical shooters I’ve had lately. So we pulled two M&P15 Sport II rifles from the Guns.com Vault to take them out for a spin, which included a little abuse during some barrier shooting drills. Here’s my honest opinion of these guns after several months of testing.

The Sport II was gonna be my first AR-15, but when I found one for a lower price, I went into the store to ask for it & someone already bought it the day before, so the employee instead offered me an ATI Mil-Sport for an even lower price which I already had enough & took it. I took the ATI primarily cause I wasn't gonna find another AR for the same price in Kalifornien & cause Nazi Tyrant Feinstein reintroduced an "Assault Weapon" ban that year
Tough to beat for the price.
They are good guns. Still liking the M&P 15 7.5" 5.56 pistol I purchased from you guys a few months back. 🔥
I have 3 of them and a 15-22 love s&w rifles!
I own several AR-15 platforms, but the S&W MP 15 Sport 2 is one of my very favorite for the same reasons explained in this great video. I gladly spent a few hundreds on upgrades, including a Holosun RDO, becoming a fantastic, reliable, accurate rifle for a lot less than those high-end fancy AR-15s.
Got mom one a couple years ago. Cleaned and lubed it, dropped a Nikon scope on top with a PEPR mount, and took it to the range with some of my "knockaround" 62 grain handloads. Doggone thing shot inch groups at 100 yards and ran flawlessly! It was so good I loaded some Gold Dots so she can use it for whitetails and pronghorn. Exceptional value for money.
Love mine and have had it for nearly three years. 👏👍🗽🦅🇺🇸😊
Front sight post is the most important part, spend the extra money lmao that railed gas block is awful
Best entry level rifle in the market
In the market for one now. More of a pistol guy but gotta get one of these bad boys.
I have the M&P15 tactical I think bought it brand new eight years ago and I still have it and it’s still an amazing rifle🤙
Have gen 1…..No issues, but people are phycho about the dust cover and other. Hey. It is not war.
My first was a Smith optics ready and I loved that gun quite accurate with a scope or even a red dot I am sure I will own another Smith&Wesson
so good
The sw mp 15s are the honda of the gun world they jusy work!

Going on three years with mine and it rocks.
