I’m new to this form and very excited to finally purchase a S&W AR-15 I’ve been a hand gun fanatic for 30 years now but getting a little bored so I went to my local To pick up my new Glock 21 SF So while I was waiting for the paperwork I had to hold a AR 15 in my hand (big mistake) I don’t know the first thing about them but they look like fun toy. I had my heart set on an S&W M&P 15. But I’m very bad about making decisions on impulse so I went home with my Glock 21SF and laid in bed thinking about the AR 15 most of that night and the next day. I had a Sig Equinox P229 that I love but I already have another 229 DAK, so if they were give me a decent price for my Equinox I thought I would make up the difference. It wasn’t as bad as I thought they gave me a $700.00 trade in and I put up another $370. For a $1200.00 rifle. Since I am new to the AR-15 world how is Smith & Wesson 15 compared to other company’s? And is there any thing I should replace. I added an AR riser to mount a Bushnell Tactical scope so far. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w156/glockster357/IMG_1005.jpg |
on a great AR
| It shoots better than my spelling. I just purchased an AR riser and a Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40 Tactical scope for now. Next I would like to get a LaRue Tactical 7.0" Hand guard or something less expensive so I can attach a Streamlight TL-2 laser light from .I also read that 5.56 Ammo is different than .223 Ammo so I should stick to 5.55 is this correct? |

ammo-oracle Click on the link, scroll down the page a bit, there is a good explaination on the difference. General rule of thumb is that you can run both 5.56 and 223 in a 5.56 chamber, but only 223 in a 223 chamber. Check your barrel, the chambering should be stamped on it somewhere. NICE looking rifle, the S&W's I've seen look great. |

Glock 19,22,23,27,32,33. And a Glock 21SF awesome gun, S&W Sigma (Junk) S&W M&PC .40,Beretta PX4 Storm .40, Sig Sauer P229 and later a Sig P229R Equinox (loved it ) Traded and sold so many to satisfy my fix on guns but my greatest long time obsessions has always been a AR -15 so I sold my two favorite guns and purchased a S&W M&P 15. I’m not sure about the scope thing yet, I wanted a red dot scope but wanted magnification so I just got a great tactical scope for starters .very confusing on how to fine tune a tactical scope, I did great at 50 yards today but exceeded to 100 yards. I was shooting high and to the left, not to late to take it back and get something else hinking.gif |
