If you are willing to go basic and don't need forward assist and dust cover, many vendors and lgs are selling M&P 15 Sports with 30 round PMag and box of ammo for $699 right now.

OP, as always, Palmetto is running great deals on complete uppers and then the blem lowers. I'd go that route if I were you. A pmag cost almost nothing now a days, and a box of ammo isn't a selling point for me. You can get some cheap used parts off EE. |

This is only $620ish sipped. Much better than a mp15 with a nice barrel and a m16 mcg.

PSA carbine kits go for $399 to $499 on sale plus a $50 to $100 lower you get a high quality cheap in price rifle.

Any Palmetto rifles will be good to go.
The Palmetto Freedom Rifle is only $599 I personally don't like the untreated SS barrel(only visually), but everything else is good to go. It seems like a great rifle, especially at $599.... |

I'd go with this:
Sopmod lower - $200 M4 upper and strikefire - $340 BCG - $90 (or the one from AIM) CH - $25 (or buy a gunfighter elsewhere) |

I love the B5 SOPMOD better LMT SOPMOD and you can find them for under a $100.00 and has the no spin QD mount.

At that price point PSA is hard to beat. Just make sure you get the Premium line with the FN barrel. Very good rifle for the price.
Or this Upper with bolt with this lower Or THIS with LBK. Look around there is almost endless options out there. Sorry to hear about the theft. Scumbags! AL |

I'd go to AIM-surplus and piece together a complete Spikes midlength personally OP. How was your rifle stolen? I hate insurance companies. They always want their premium with no quibbling but never want to pay you right for your missing/damaged property...

Sorry for your loss. Honestly i would scrape together some extra cash and buy the rifle you want or to replace the rifle you had, dont cheap out on this especially if its for self defense. if it was just a fun plinking range gun then go cheap and get w/e you can afford with the cash.

My M&P15 with Troy rail and all my goodies on it got stolen back in Jan. I just finally got the insurance money back (what a joke that was). So I figure I have about $700 to work with. Right now I'm leaning towards this setup. http://www.slickguns.com/product/psa...magazine-16999 http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_301/2...ng_Handle.html With one of PSA's $89 generic bolts. Seems like a good package. What other options do I have out there for $700? I know I cant replace my M&P for that little of money (or at least with all the stuff I had on/in it) but I'd like to at least find an acceptable replacement. You can buy another M&P15 for under 600. You can check out AIM and possibly put together an upper and lower for 700. or a little more. If you go the PSA route just remember their shipping is slow and it may be a month before you have upper and/or lower in hand. |

Come on, PSA's "freedom carbine..." That's their bottom of the barrel stuff, unlike their premium parts, which I like quite a bit to be honest... The Freedom series stuff isn't horrible by any means, hell, it might even be better than the P-tac stuff, but it isn't better than S&W... |

I would consider a Smith Sport, seems like around here the Windhams are pretty reasonably priced as well.

A superior type of steel, mpi/hpt, hammer forging, chrome lining, ect can be had on a sub $600 build. The M&P in that price range will have none of that. |
