Customer Reviews for Smith & Wesson 30 + 1 5.56 Nato w/16" Barrel/Black Finish

I purchased this in Nov 2011. It has been outstanding. Zero issues. It has eaten up everything I have fed it.

Amazing rifle for the cost! Shipped in a timely manner, but I don't think I've ever been as fortunate as some who say they shipped almost immediately. I've almost always waited a week for Bud's to ship my previous 5+ orders. But the rifle leaves nothing desired. Already accessorized and have 500+ rounds down range with her. Would highly recommend! Such a great rifle that I just purchased my second on last week (the day after the election)!

As always, Buds service was second to none. Received the rifle 4 business days after ordering. I have shot many AR rifles but this is the first I have owned. Upon receipt, disassembled,cleaned and lubed it. Fit and finish is great, no surprises. Took it to the range, it was shooting about 6 inches low at 100 yards, took a couple rounds to get it sighted in correctly. Since then it is a tack driver. Put about 200 of the cheapest rounds I could find through it, no FTF or FTE, it runs like a finely tuned sewing machine. The magpul accessories that come with it are great, makes it very comfortable and easy to shoot. Cant go wrong with this rifle. Glad I bought it, would recommend to all.

Love This ar, first ar i have ever purchased and owned. this is a great rifle for a amazing deal. get them while they last! you wouldn't have any regrets buying this with this great of a deal from buds.

EXCELLENT RIFLE! MAGPUL AND S&W AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION!

Exactly what I was looking for. Complete field strip, cleaned it up hit the range, spot on from 50/100yard. No issues with a few different types of ammo. Put close to 500 rounds though it. Great service, great gun, I'll be back!

great rifle, eats up any ammo u feed it. comes with magpul furniture and best part Made in the USA !!!! what more can u ask for?

Love this rifle. Pick up some extra pmags and you can have a lot of fun.

I highly recommend this rifle to anyone. I like it better then my M4 that the military issues me. The magpol rail and buttstuck are awesome as well I thought I was going to hate them and planned on swapping them out but now I wouldn't trade them for anything. Buds also did an awesome job with this rifle being the first firearms I ordered from them.

Excellent gun. Excellent price!

Outstanding rifle and an excellent price given all of the Magpul accessories which really enhance the look and function of the weapon. I was surprised how light and balanced it felt. Does not come with a plastic case but I planned on getting an aftermarket case anyway. The lifetime warranty from S&W is also a plus. If you're looking at AR's, this one deserves your consideration.

First of all, thank you Bud's for great price, service, and valuing my time. There was a slight delay in shipping but Buds kept its word, upgraded the shipping on their dime and got the firearm to me by the agreed upon time frame. Thats the kind of thing that fosters life long customers, kudos to whoever decided to do the right thing. The rifle itself is a beauty, tomorrow I will find out how she shoots. The service from Buds was excellent. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/includes/languages/engli-

Smith and Wesson produced a great AR15, finally got to shoot it went through some 55grain soft point,62grain green tips Butter! Excellent rifle,definitely will buy again. BUDS SERVICE IS THE BEST!!

I ordered the M&P15 MOE from Buds and it was in town for me to pick up in just two days. I was very impressed with the rifle, the Magpul accessories look fantastic and Smith & Wesson have done a great job with their return to the AR series rifles. This is a great rifle at a great price.

My very first AR-15 and I am extremely impressed. I researched AR's extensively and finally went with the M&P15 MOE. Picked it up about a week ago from the FFL. Buds service was top notch. The weapon arrived in no time. Just took it to the range and I am won over by the accuracy, design, and functioning of the rifle. More purchases to come. Thank you Buds!

If your in the market for an ar-15 carbine this is the one to get!!! Fit and finish from S&W is perfect, the Magpul accesorries are the best part about this rifle. I would recommend this configuration to anyone.

This AR15/M&P15 is everything that is promised. I got mine on a Friday and put 150 rounds through it flawlessly the next day. If you are in the market for an AR15, you really cannot go wrong with this rifle. Great price, great magpul furniture, great manufacturer, and great service from buds gun shop. Once I got all the paperwork in (FFL), it only took 3 days to get it from Kentucky and I live in NH. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Smith and Wesson produced a great AR15. I looked at lower priced guns but kept coming back to this one. Why get a base AR and go out and buy a bunch of add-ons when this has all the cool Magpul equipment. Also, I just found out S&W has a promotion where you get 5 free Magpul Pmag 30rd magazines for FREE. I went to the range today and put 60 rounds PMC ammo through it. I shot very smooth. When I bought my gun it was 950.00 which is 100.00 to 250.00 cheaper than I found anywhere esle. Buds kept me up to date on part of the delivery process. If you are looking for a great AR, spend the extra money and get this one.

Smith and Wesson produced a great AR15, no wonder why it was 2009's best rifle. I am very please with this rifle, the Magpul Equipment works great. I have not had on FTF while using PMags. Handguard is sturdy and functional. If you are interested in picatinny railing, this handguard is designed for it. Thats what the slots are for, mounting picatinny rails. Rear Magpul Back Up Sights (MBUS) works great, love the spring loaded action lever. This is my first AR 15 but not my first Smith and Wesson Purchase. Smith and Wesson tru to the Heart. If you are looking for a great 5.56 Carbine then this is the one to purchase. You won't be sorry Purchasing from Bud's was fast and easy. One bit of advice though, don't wait to purchase any firearm from this website. If you have the money buy it when its a low price, the next day you could regret it if you don't. Trust me it happend to me. Bud's prices fluctuate, based on whats in their inventory and what manufacturer they purchased the firearm from. Now with all that said I would and Will buy from bud's in a heartbeat. Smith and Wesson All The Way!

Great gun, great price. Ordering was easy. Gun arrived as described- NEW, no flaws or defects. Took it home today, cleaned it thoroughly, then back to the gun club where I put the first 100 rounds down range. No miss-feeds or problems of any kind. After adjusting the sights, groups were inside 1 inch at 40 feet. The Magpul gear the rifle ships with is all impressive. The back up sight works well, but are not a true replacement for a A2 sight. The hand guard and grip are great factory plus quality you come to expect from Magpul. The Magpul ETO telescoping stock is a big improvement over the standard mil-spec issue stock. And a Magpul magazine is one less aluminum mag that I have to replace. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the value and quality, gun looks great, preforms great, and groups are tight in initial indoor short range tests. S&W M&P15 rifles are a great choice for first time AR buyers like me who have done their research and want higher end quality for mid level prices. The practically free Magpul gear that this rifle ships with makes this a great deal. Satisfied 100%.
