| Thank god for the hometown forum, some people who can feel my pain. Im in the market for a new AR. I really dont want it to come with a perm. compressor so I would prefer a plain barrel. Anyone have ANY advice based on whats out there. I was looking at the s&w m&p15ft . I found one for 1600$. Not sure. Ive read some issues about them. Any other suggestions? Thanks!!!! |

Liverpool, NY Herb Phillipsons had a S$W M4 FT, no sights front and rear, for $999 today. Also a bushy A4 with a carryhandle, same price. Both were plain barrels. Any idea what the # is? Is it an army/navy store? Ive read about quite a few people having FTF's on the "T" models. |

you might also want to look for a stag 2t if you want a railed forearm. i've seen very little 'negative' reviews of any stag rifles.
though, the version stag ships as ban-compliant has a perm-attached brake. my stag (current config): (pic removed because i didn't realize the model the OP was looking for) |

I think the $1600 S$W the OP is talking about is at GEM Sports. It is a Performance Center model-not the "optics ready M4", and more $$$. It looks more like this: 
Another good black rifle shop is Tim's Guns in Elbridge. Just east of the village on Rt 5. They had a decent selection of rifles as of last weekend. |

Hey this tim's guns In elbridge, Im in syracuse so it looks to be right around me. I cant find it on a google search though. |
Try the phone book. Those of you BC (before computers) might remember what those are 
Either way, get on Rt 5 and head west towards Elbridge. Its on the left just past the Ford dealership. I think this is the best gun shop in CNY for rifles and milsurp. He doesn't have pistols as of yet, although I hear rumors that the shop will be expanding. If you don't find what you want there, go to Herbs in Liverpool. Only a ~15-20 minute drive from Tims. EDIT: Tim carries Stags, as well as other makes. The M4 style rifles have been moving pretty quickly, from what I hear. |
