M&P 15 Sport 2 / Full Review / Best Value AR-15

The best bang for buck AR15. The Smith and Wesson M&P 15 Sport 2 is all about quality, reliability, and superior performance. Basic features, specs, what you get with this gun, how it compares to the competition, will be explained. This is a better overall rifle than the Diamondback DB15, Palmetto State Armory PA-15, Anderson AM-15, and the Ruger AR-556. Table talk and shooting at the range. This is one of the most reliable rifles you can buy at a great budget price, I paid $699 for mine but have seen them up to $100 cheaper then that.

[@bishop5537]

I bought myself a sport 2 a few years back and was at the outdoor range with a couple guys that had top end colt and Daniel defense rifles that were four or five times the cost. Or more... if it wasn't for gravity, they wouldn't hit the ground. I was outscoring them at 200 yards to their 50 or 75 yards. A lot of it comes down to operator skill, but Smith and Wesson made a damn fine gun. I put a scope on it, I have 3" groupings at 300 yards. It's a badass rifle!

[@bikesandbangs]

Amazing! That's been my experience as well 👍

[@Jordan-jx6zc]

I put the HE510C GR HOLOSUN and zero it with a .556 boresighter at 25 yards and I am shooting tight groups at 50 & 100 yards. Stoked, almost bought the COLT m4 carbine.

[@vinnyb.6524]

Great review! One of the best I have seen on any AR platform rifle but you left out one of the best and most important features on this rifle. Armornite. Most reviewers leave it out because they are either not sure, or don't know what it is. So here goes. . . . . . Armornite is S&W's terminology for the Nitride process. Same as Glock's Melonite process. Which is a form of Ferritic nitrocarburizing. Ferritic nitrocarburizing (Nitride for short) is a Case Hardening technique that uses heat, nitrogen and carbon to toughen up the exterior of a steel part, improving its durability, lubricity, appearance and corrosion resistance. Since this treatment includes the entire barrel including the bore. There is no need for chrome lining. I hope this helps a bit. It's always good to share information.

[@PaulJersey]

Great review. I actually looked at all the usual suspects that you mentioned and must agree that the M&P 15 does stand out. I am trying to do this on a budget since it will be a back up.

[@bikesandbangs]

Great review. I have the Sport 1 and 2. Both have never failed me. In fact I don't even miss the forward assist and dust cover on the Sport 1. None of my other semi-auto rifles have dust covers and they all work just fine for me. Both rifles, sandbagged will get 1.5 to 2 MOA @ 100yds with cheap 55g ball practice rounds. Not bad for a $600 AR.

[@brianbeauchaine2597]

I agree! I have the 15T and while I’ve never measured my moa, based on my targets at 100 yards, the S&W will do just fine in a shtf situation.

I really do like my M&P 15 Spot 2. I got mine back in 2019. After getting out of the army, back in 1990-1991. ( Why did it take me so long? I don't know. ) The only thing it did with it after about 6 month. Was the furniture / externals. Nothing internal, has been changed. Never really shot anything beyond around 100 yards, just yet. Iron Sights, were pretty much in zero. Then got a Scope. ( Zeroed in, with in a silver dollar size at 100 yards. ) And then change over to a red dot. Still need to re zero the red dot. Nothing has failed me yet. Even after around 5000+ rounds. Only one double feed, in the early stages. ( Maybe, a bad round? ) Still love this rifle. Never, giving it up.

I agree 1oo% with your view of this AR 15. I have had mine for several years. One thing I added that I really like is, a large downward handle about centered on the bottom of the front hand guard. Makes it feel kind a machine gun style..lol They tell you you must replace the hand guard to a hand guard that has rails to do that. But I just removed the two halves of the front hand guard (like you mentioned) and put the bolts through this hand guard, and it bolted solid right to this without any rails or changing of the hand guard. Works great sturdy and looks great! I love it. Very cheap add on, from cheaper than dirt company. Oh by the way they sell a tool just foe holding that part down while you remove the front guard. I have one and it is nice even though seldom used. Thank you for the honest video!

[@georgeburchett5798]

The part that I bolted to the bottom of the front guard, was a very small section of rail. Then the large pistol grip simply mounted to that. No need to replace original hand guard. Hope this helps someone.

The only thing on this rifle i felt i had to replace is the foregrip. I bought mine in summer and with no heat shield inside it quickly becomes way too hot to hold even with a modest firing rate. Added on a angled foregrip magpul stock a different grip, ambi charging handle and evenually a timney trigger. Nothing really wrong with the stock one.

[@decibellone696]

excellent vid! - I love this gun. good baseline. you can run it as is or, for VERY little extra money you can add on parts for easy upgrades. The cheapest one and (for me was the most fun) was buying new furniture. its really where S&W saves some money the forend is really bad i live in the desert. I don't dump mags, these guns barels get hot. The forend does nothing to midigate that. talking about barrel twist, 1:9 vs 1:8 I've used both never had a tumbling issue with 77gr bullits at 500 yards.

[@JohnHilman1968]

I have one... If I'm being honest, it really does match the price point in terms of quality goes. Quality is a vey relative term here. Quality is simply put, conforming to requirements. It's a military spec rifle. That just means everything works with everything, with very loose tolerances. Ok so that said, a few relatively minor changes, this rifle transforms into a much better rifle. 1. there was some noticeable receiver slop/rattles. This was due to the loose tolerances in the takedown/pivot pins and lugs on the upper receiver. A set of JP oversized pins corrected this issue. I have no slop or rattles at all now. Very tight lockup has the feel of a much more expensive rifle now. 2. This is both a pro and a con, but this rifle is very much overgassed. The good is that you will be able to run any ammo, in any conditions. Dirty gun, wet gun, whatever. the con is, your internals will take a beating and wear out a bit sooner. Also the recoil impulse, albeit not bad as is, could be better, and by going with a heavier buffer (they put in a light carbine buffer, I added an H2, and changed the AR15 cut bolt carrier to a M16 full weight buffer and it's a much smoother shooting experience. 3. trigger.... it's a mil-spec single stage trigger. excessive creep, gritty feel before the break... and polishing the sears improved it a LITTLE, replacing it with a single stage duty drop in from RA improved it a LOT! 4. Mine came with the A2 grip, and standard loose rattly M4 stock, and the Magpul MOE handguard. I hated them all, so, Hogue overmold grip and stock, and I changed out the handguard to a UTG pro carbine drop in, and it looks so much better, and has the rail run and match the receiver and gas block rails. 5. I added some fixed iron sites, on it and this thing is easy to shoot. 6. I actually like the 1:9 twist barrel. I'm 55 grain or 62 grains primarily. If I want to shoot heavier bullets I will pull out my .308 or .300 blk I agree that this rifle is a GREAT one at its price point. I don't agree that Anderson, PSA, or others are not good... maybe not as good, but as I said, anything can be made better with some well planned upgrades.

[@bikesandbangs]

I mean, it doesn't make much sense to put $1000 into a $700 rifle. If you're that picky about everything you should pry just build an AR with all ur favorite parts. We are just talking about the best bang for buck AR that is always going to get the job done. It might not look the best or feel the best, but it can perform just as it needs to, right out of the box, everytime. Ur acting like this is some un-usable piece of junk when you get it. It is not.

@@bikesandbangs they're very nice and smooth. I would say a great combat style trigger but probably not the best precision long range trigger.

I bought the S&W M&P for less money than what a used COLT costed, I handled both and the COLT just felt lighter and cheaper made than the S&W.

This rifle is a sleeper and a beast. Believe it or not Iraqveteran8888 did a full auto test on this rifle to failure and it failed 13 rounds less than a rifle that cost thousands more. It did better then other brand name ar's with fancy barrels,bolts etc. I was shocked. It failed where it was designed to fail at the gas tube. If you replaced it the rifle would be good to go again. I highly recommend this rifle. Other companies cant claim their ar's can make it that far in a fully auto test like S&W.

Actually to 2 different size rear sights are used for light differences smaller hole for more light bigger hole for less light. That’s from magpul themselves. If I’m not mistaken
