Just ordered a S&W M&P 15 Sport. This will be my first AR, so im kind of pumped right now. No add ons just the bare gun. After the events today and the comments that Obama made in his speech I wanted to buy one before another AR ban is put into effect. Im pretty damn excited to get my hands on it! Ill post pics when it arrives. ---

What’s the average price for a M&P 15? I see S&W has them on their site for like $740 without anything extra, can I expect to pay significantly more at a local dealer? ---

Im looking at the RRA ar now and the entry level is ~$1000. I wonder how quick these possible new gun restrictions could take place. ---

Well that’s how hollow points work. Upon impact, the round expands because of that little air pocket it created hitting the target pushes the sides out. Look at pistol hollow points after they were shot through ballistic gel. They practically double in width, making them much more likely to get the job done. > [@\*Official\* Shredd & Reagan Cruise Night Thread](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-shredd-reagan-cruise-night-thread/47806/502): > > Im looking at the RRA ar now and the entry level is ~$1000. I wonder how quick these possible new gun restrictions could take place. Check out Dick’s. They have ARs made by Troy Industries which are better than any RRA, Stag, S&W, etc… for the price range. Awesome parts on it too. Keep in mind that if you’re buying this gun for extremely long lasting durability, make sure the barrels are chrome lined (on the inside) and not just stainless. Stainless is more accurate, but won’t last as long. ---

Stainless is more accurate, but won’t last as long. I was just about to PM you, lol. thanks^^ Is the chrome lined barrel an option they have at the store? Because I’d rather just “custom” order parts down the line when I’m more knowledgeable. I most likely will not have a chance to shoot a whole lot over the winter anyway… unless we have a crazy end of the world/zombie disaster. haha ---

Parts are flying off of shelves and out of stock very quickly, so if you start building an AR today, you might not have a complete one for months. All of the Troy AR barrels are chrome lined if I recall. Stag’s are too I think. Mostly anything built to mil-spec should be. ---
