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 …
Video Rating: 4 / 5
Great video… how would you compare this with the Del-Ton Sport. It has an MSRP of $699. It has a lightweight barrel profile and the whole weapon weighs only 5.8 lbs empty. Of course that doesn’t include a BUIS. They also claim to have an mp/hpi tested bolt.
why dont you throw up some videos on a daniel defense, BCM, noveske, etc AR?
I now have changed my Load Bearing Vest POU to carry the M&P9mmC in the chest rig, Sigma .40 cal on the hip (and yes the Sigma rocks if you know how to shoot to the gun) and carry the M&P 15 Sport. Smith & Wesson load out. Love it and am now 7 lbs lighter without the Yugo SKS and ammo weight. But the Yugo SKS still ROCKS but along with my Mosin, have new POU’s. Thanks Nut’n for a good review on the M&P line by S&W.
As a S&W lifelong fan and owner, a friend of mine had the M&P 15 and once I shot it, I knew I was gonna have one. But I was using the Yugo SKS modified (Tapco stock and 20 rnd mags) for my MBR. Then they came out with the “M&P SPORT” and couldn’t find one anywhere. Well, my Firearms dealer finally got one in and I snatched it up. Just shot it today and only had to 3 click adjust left on the rear sight and grouped in a 5″ circle with open sights at 75 yards using small sight.
Only 555$ delivered from Bud’s Police supply

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?
