Smith & Wesson M&P15 30+1 .223 Remington/5.56 NATO Black AR-15 Rifle

A: The M&P Sport II is configured more as a basic "Entry Level" AR Gregory. The M&P 15 is considered/configured as a standard "Mid-Level" rifle. Many AR's seem similar outwardly, but internals, barrel metal, bolt carrier's. better triggers can make a difference in price of what would appear at 1st glance to be identical AR's.
