Does anyone own one, and have any pros or cons to share?
A buddy wants one, and I know it's pretty new, so I'm wondering about how good it is.

Have the TRS on mine too. It works well, and with 1/8 twist, it stabilizes 69 gr quite well.I've had a few custom AR's over the years, they've never stuck around long because I always end up feeling like they were to expensive for what they did.
I've had my eye on the M&P15 Sport for awhile, mostly for the basic design and price point, of course, all the shining reviews since its been out haven't turned me away either
My favorite LGS has had them on sale for bit at $599 including two free 30round PMags....figured I better jump on it.
I picked this Sport up yesterday. Outside of the chinsey handguards it seems very well built. The Sport is also remarkably light and easy handling, nice trigger too. I'll get out in the next days. I plan to top it with a riser/Bushnell TRS-25 micro-RD and that's it.
S&W changed up the design specs of the newer M&P Sport. They did away with the muzzle device and went with a crowned end. Also the old clunky rear sight is gone, replaced with a Magpul MBUS from the factory.meanmrmustard said:Where's your flash hider?
Oooohhhhh...gotcha. I see your location now. I'm in MO, so I've got the flash hider, and mines only 6 mths old, so I've also got the MBUS, not the old sight.S&W changed up the design specs of the newer M&P Sport.

Both changes I'm happy with, plus CT still has some odd AWB laws on the books that I'm not getting into here, but it makes "flash hiders" a no-no.....
Now I learned something(happens occasionally )....The crowned barrel must be for states that require "compliance".....You'll notice that the bayo lug is also absent on my CT rifle. While I'm at it, what you can't see is the stock is also pinned.I've got the flash hider, and mines only 6 mths old, so I've also got the MBUS, not the old sight.
Now that you mention it, I thought you had it all the way out for pics!

+1. Love Smith's CS, if I find myself needing it.Best warrantee and customer service in the industry, so absolutely no reason not to buy if you like the price and features.
Looks like the dust cover door was deleted as well.Now I learned something(happens occasionally )....The crowned barrel must be for states that require "compliance".....You'll notice that the bayo lug is also absent on my CT rifle. While I'm at it, what you can't see is the stock is also pinned.
No sir, its a "Sport" no dust cover, forward assist or heat shield in the handguard and the trigger guard is molded in. Not CT law, just how they are made to save cost.Looks like the dust cover door was deleted as well.
