I live in Massachusetts where the "new" guns you want may not me available, so, I want my 1st. AR15, and the choices I know that are available new are:
Bushmaster
S&W M&P
DPMS
I have shot a 3 yr. old Bushmaster and 1 yr. old DPMS. Of these 2 guns I liked the Bushmaster better because it had no FTF's and the DPMS had 2 FTF's in 100 rounds (maybe a fluke).
I have never fired the S&W M&P so, I have no opinion.
The most important thing to me is reliability, The last thing I want is a gun that has even 2 FTF's out of 100 rounds when I go shooting.
