Customer Reviews for Smith & Wesson 30 + 1 5.56 Nato w/16" Barrel/Dark Earth Fini

Great gun shoots well reasonable price

Terrific carbine at a great price. Well-balanced, easy to handle, and very accurate at 200 yards with just the flip up sights right out of the box.

Outstanding rifle! No issues what so ever!

Very lightweight and easy to use/clean. Ran some cheap 5.56 ammo in it on the first day out on the range. The dust cover and forward assist is present on this version of the AR (there are quite a bit of AR-15s that do not have these features). My AR-15 did come with a Magpul Magazine in the correct color (previous reviews mentioned their rifle coming with a black Magpul magazine). Item did not come with the tool to adjust the sights. I will need to go out and purchase the tool. The box it came in was a pretty beat-up cardboard box. Luckily the front sight was not damaged, although the front sight did damage the cardboard box pretty bad. The instructions manual and Magpul magazine was hidden underneath one of the foam padding (between the box and the foam pad). I thought I was missing the magazine! Extremely easy to take apart to clean, etc.

Everything went the way it should. Very happy with the weapon, no issues what-so-ever. This was my first purchase from Buds, and I'd do it again. Buds had one of the best prices anywhere for this rifle. Buds shipping seemed to be pretty slow though, which is a common complaint now from what I've seen.

Second Rifle bought through Buds. Great Deal, Fast shipping, Great service.

Color as shown in picture is not the same shade as on the rifle. More of a OD color. Also the "supplied key" to adjust the rear sight for hi-low was missing. There was no envelope for the instruction manual & warranty card. The instruction manual was crumpled under the box padding. You can see a crushed impact area on the inside of the box, where the rear sight at some time was shipped w/it in the full up right position. It was down & locked when I opened the box. Have not taken it out for a test drive yet.

I am extremely pleased with the gun as its my second time purchasing with buds and as always got it very fast! I can say again that Smith&Wesson has got there quality on this gun spot on! We took it out shooting the day after I received it and put about 300 rounds of PMC Bronze .223 through it. Not one FTF OR FTE and the gun feels amazing! The moe hand guard is amazing as it never got hot enough to where you couldn't hold it even after continuous firing and its comfortable to hold. Was grouping very well even with the factory "iron" sights and the moe buttstock is nice as well. It came with a black pmag instead of the dark-earth but that doesn't bother me at all as i need to buy more any ways. I would strongly recommend buying this gun to any one Will not disappoint!!

Great rifle.This thing shoots amazing..Put a little over 50 rounds through the day i got it.(had to work or else it would be a few hundred more.)Out of the box it shot very tight groupings around 30-35 yards.Have to take it to the range to see what it can really do, but highly recommended! And ofcoarse,no where better to buy it from then Buds.

My second gun ordered from Buds. Ordered on a Tuesday and had it by Friday. Out the box this gun looked amazing. I added a Vortex StrikeFire Red Dot and a Primary Arms X3 Magnifier. Me and my buddy put 220 rounds of .223 and 5.56 NATO during the first day of shooting. This gun was excellent. NO FTF or FTE. I am so happy with this purchase and the color also matches my Pelican 1750 gun case.

Great rifle. Very accurate right out of the box. Have used various types of ammo with zero issues. Very happy with this purchase.

Fantastic product and a great deal! Thanks very much!

Outstanding firearm, I have put 500 rounds through this bad boy at the range without a single hicup. Dead on accurate at 25 yards with standard sights... Thanks Buds, will definately buy again.

I bought the gun on wednsday and it was here on Friday buds was awesome and I would definatly recommend them to anyone as far as the rifle it is flawless I have had it about 3 weeks now and have put about 1000 rounds through it with no jams or problems. The magpul furniture is awesome and the flat dark earth looks 10 times better is person. If you are having second thoughts about buying a smith and wesson don't because they make an awesom m4/ar15 most parts are chrome lined just like the others so overall it is a top notch m4. Magpul makes awesome stuff and this rifle comes factory with most of the furniture.

My 1st experiance with Buds and an AR-15. Fast shipping and the AR-15 has been flawless so far.

Ordered rifle on a Monday, and it was delivered to my FFL the next day. Great price on a great rifle.

My 1st experiance with Buds and an AR-15. Both were fabulous. Ordered the rifle on a Saturday and it was shipped the following Wednesday. So Thanks Buds! You made my day. As for the M&P 15 MOE, fabulous. Smooth, good fit, light and everything I'd hoped for. Added some additional Magpul items and am very pleased.Too many AR alternatives looked like they were put together with less quality parts than the M&P. I found only the Colt had as fine a fit and finish as the M&P but I liked the look of the Dark Earth MOE M&P better. I'd reccomend Buds and the S&W MP15 MOE to anyone..........................Get one, make your day........................
