Smith & Wesson M&P15TS M-LOK 223 Remington/5.56 NATO AR15 Semi Auto Rifle - Blue/Black, 16" Barrel, 30+1 Rounds, Synthetic, Collapsible Stock

First as always Buds service Perfect!! When I bought gun there was not a photo of the gun so I was unable to see the differences between that and the M&P 15 T. I have bought many items from Buds over the years so I didn't worry since I have never been disappointed. The description is incorrect the gun is a direct impingement and the big PLUS for me is it is a 14.5 inch barrel, vs the 16 inch description. I should have known since the flash suppressor is welded on the gun I think the ATF requires that on barrels less than 16 inches. Good to know about this gun if you plan on running it suppressed it will add a hiccup in the setup if you need to remove the flash suppressor (its welded on) It has the Armour-Lite coating on the outside and inside the barrel, AWESOME!! Magpul M-Lok Rails, Stock, and Hand Grip are all Magpul quality! Hard to be disappointed with perfection. The Trigger is one of the best Mil Spec triggers I have ever used, in fact I have a 2 stage Timmy trigger I was going to change out when I got the gun. I was inspecting the gun and the trigger seems to be about 5 lbs. there is zero creep and a crystal clean break. For me no need to change the trigger for a slight reduction. I am completely happy with this gun and fact the little shorter barrel is a big plus makes for a perfect home defense AR. I took it to the range with just the Magpul Metal flip up sights and shooting steel from 50 and 100 yards the sights were right on the money right out of the box for me and my son. We shot 240 rounds of Hornady Black and some white box Winchester zero malfunctions. Smith and Wesson has set the bar HIGH this gun has everything you need and nothing you don't. Great Gun!! Great Price from Buds no surprise there!!
