One of my favorite guns! VERY accurate, simple to clean and a lot of fun at the range. I have purchased three of these AR's so far and one Colt AR. I would recommend the S&W M&P over Colt any day.

Fantastic gun out of the box. Put Magpul MBUS sights on it and was spot on out of the package. Can't go wrong with M&P.

You can pretty much count on S&W making a good, solid product. One thing I like about this rifle is that it was very easy to mod. I almost didn't leave a review, as I thought maybe Buds had made a mistake by putting it in my :items purchased" page. It looks so different now. I have put about 200 rounds through her, and didn't have a single issue with feeding or extraction. I really like the fact that the gas block rail is same height as the upper rail. Many flat tops do not have set ups like that. Everything else, as far as ordering, shipping, and receipt of transfer, was flawless as usual. Its Buds, after all.

First order from Buds, and as everyone has stated before me Buds did a great job, guns to me in two days and everything looks great so far out of the box. Will have to get to the range soon to see how they function.

Amazing rifle, I bought it three years ago now and have put thousands of rounds down the barrel of it. Winchester, Remington, Lake City, Tula, Herters, and others all without ever having a single issue. Fit and finish are on par with my buddies much more expensive rifles and I couldn't be happier with it.

Received the AR15 quickly once shipped. I used the 180-day so I had built up some anticipation. I still need to throw some lead down range but I can't complain.

This optic ready AR-15 was purchased for work use. Buds price could not be beat on this quality weapon arrived as offered and it is a beauty. Don't wait get yours today. After installing my Redfield optic its a real shooter. Thanks again Buds you just cant be beaten!

This is my first purchase from Buds...and delivery was quite fast, as well as my first purchasing a gun via the internet. Though I was apprehensive at first, everything went very smooth with no hiccups. I ordered my M&P 15 OR on Friday and picked up the gun from my FFL dealer on Monday afternoon. I was able to put roughly 200 rounds and begin the breaking in process of the gun. And the weapon worked "Flawlessly." It's a Smith &Wesson... so not much needs to be said. S&W has always put out excellent guns, paying attention to details and high quality. I was fortunate in that my FFL only charges for the background check ($10). He thinks it's robbery for dealers to charge, since the paper work and calling in the background checks takes no more than ten minutes. In fact I was all done in five minutes. Nonetheless, I can't say enough about Buds. I definitely will be shopping here again and buying other guns from the too. I can't believe shipping was so fast. Though Buds is in Kentucky and I live in Tennessee, might have had something to do with the gun getting here in 3 day with it being a weekend when the gun was subsequently shipped. I've see this exact gun at retail stores going for $1100.00 and this is before the recent gun scare. Without any doubt, Buds prices cannot be beat. Add in excellent customer service, fast shipping and a huge stock of all the brand names. A person cannot go wrong purchasing from Buds. Like I said above, I plan on buying from Buds for no on. Hope this review helps someone. I know when I read these reviews it helped me in buying my gun here and online...since I was really apprehensive in the entire process. Well, be at easy, since the process is very simple and pleasant. Everyone stay safe and enjoy shooting.

This is one of many purchases from Bud's and as always the transaction went smooth. The rifle was just what I expected and works great. I have ran a couple hundred rounds through it with no problems. GREAT RIFLE, Glad I got it before all the craziness started. This is one rifle you can not go wrong with. I will have years of fun shooting this!

This is another great S&W product. I bought it and the M&P 15-22 and love them both. Its nice to plink away with a .22 that has the same egonomics as this gun. I would highly recommend this gun. AS always buds was fast and great to buy from...thx buds

Grade A Rifle. Absolutely Love It. Shipping Took A Little Longer Than Expected, But Was Not Bud's Guns Fault At All. Increase In Demand Is All. I Am Very Pleased With The Customer Service, Price, And Product. Have Already Ordered Another Gun From Bud's If That Tells You Anything.

Thank you once again Buds, your awesome. Ordered and M&P AP-15 on Monday 12-17-12, it shipped on Tuesday 12-18-12 and picked it up from my FFL on Friday 12-21-12. Unbelievable concerning the hectic week they were having. They were flat over whelmed and still came thru like the true professionals they are. Why would you but a gun anywhere else, I won't. When I picked it up my FFL said " You payed how much? You should have bought 2." The AR is exactly what it was described as and in perfect shape.Can't wait to shoot it and get some optics on it. Now the fun part finding ammo. Here we go again!

Great weapon, although I've pretty much replaced everything except the upper and lower receiver. The front gas block was a huge pain to remove when i converted to a free float

I love this gun it is exactly what I ordered and expected. It is a well built, and high quality as to be expected from S&W. I also have no complaints whatsoever about Buds Gun Shop.

This was my first buy from Buds I would reccomend them to anyone the weapon was great, did not have a problem with it but you might use 5.56 nato rounds not the steel round after about 30 to 40 shot the chamber heats and the rounds stick and the rim on the round breaks after I went to the brass rounds everything shot well, this is a excellent weapon and I highly recomend it.

I bought this rifle a few years ago and its been great. No mods except a Rock River match 2 stage trigger, the original trigger was heavy and gritty. The rifle so far has had no malfunctions after 600rds. of really dirty surplus ammo from Guatamala, over a case of Wolf, and Im coming close to the end of a case of Federal. Close estimate of rounds through it so far, over 3k. i clean it well after shooting, shoot it pretty wet(lots of CLP) and it just keeps running like a sewing machine. I switched my Trijicon scope to another rifle, and use an Eotech with back up iron sights. Ive never shot the Smith from a bench, but in informal shooting 12 inch steel plates at 150 yds are a breeze with this setup. Ive used it in a few carbine matches, and it has stood up well. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another S@W AR. God my eyes on one now from Bud's. And Bud's service rocks! Best in the business, in my opinion. Ive bought over a dozen guns and some optics( my Eotech, for one) from Bud's. Ordered a Colt AR from them, came in scratched and gouged (in factory sealed box), all I did was refuse the transfer, call Bud's, shipped it back, and got my card credited, no problems whatsoever.

Great rifle, great value Have put almost 400 rounds through it with various brands (Hornady, PMC, reloads, even dirty Tula) and it has performed without any malfunction. If you are looking for a good basic rifle and want to "trick" it out exactly as you wish, I would recommend taking a look at this S&W.

I ordered mine and got it after 9 days. I give 3 stars because It comes with a wrong size stock and a loose hand guard. They are using high quality parts to build this gun ( chrome lined barrel etc.), however, the assemble quality is just horrible. If you decided to buy one of these S&W rifle, please remember to have some tapes ready so you can fix the loose parts right out of the box.

Amazing rifle. shot for the first time today. put 240 rounds through it. Federal, Tula. No failures at all. i put in a JARD single stage trigger which is absolutely amazing and would highly recommend. Also put on a floating quad rail handguard. the Buttstock and barrel nut were really really cinched down hard on the rifle out of the box. i'd recommend against using the all-in-one tools and make sure you use quality barrel wrench. Also, beware, the front gas block is same height as the upper receiver rail. so if you are purchasing front sights, get the ones that are meant to mount to handguards as they are shorter then the ones that mount to the gas blocks (which are typically lower height on other brands)
