M&P15 pics. Better than USAF's!

Well i finally went and done it. Bought my first, and i think a damn fine, rifle. S&W M&P15 Optics Ready. I went with the optics ready for a few reasons, but they dont really matter to you guys.



5.56 Nato, 10 rnd mags, no flash suppressor, no bayo lug, pinned stock. NY gun laws blow dogs for quarters.

Anywho i need recommendations on sights. I was thinking of just ponying up the moneys and getting the Larue Troy folding combo and then an EOTech in the future. But then i saw the Magpul polymer folding sights which are less than half the price for the set than the Troy ones. Anyone know if these are good?

Better pics will come when the sights get here, after i decide which ones to buy.

As promised, better pics:

Nevermind about iron sights, ordered the troy's. Go big or go home lol. And i was looking at that red dot as well, or maybe the primary arms m4 when they get them back in stock.

Yeah 5 free mags but its a mail in offer so itll be a few weeks before i see them im thinking.

Pretty.  Is the M&P still gas or did they go with a piston?

Stopping power is for n00bs

This.  AR15-L on Yahoo groups may be better to post your question there.

Now, we know that money isn't a problem for you Niq, but how much did this set you back?

You could have obtained a bargain bin 18" Gov't profile one from CMMG for $600.

Super sturdy, and less than $200 online. And you! Where's your M4? Did you get it in yet? Pics!!1!1!!1one!!

It's on the way as of tomorrow.

Paid for 2 weeks ago mind you.  Got the runaround from a local gunshop for a week and a half before I finally got fed up, got a $50 transfer fee quote from another, and finally settled on a pawn shop here in town.  BUT, of course, with my luck, they've been trying for two days to no avail to fax their FFL information. So instead of waiting any longer, I'm driving there in the morning and getting a copy of the information to fax myself. 


Between that and now having to get a new scope, this damn gun better kill a whole lotta Zekes. 

On the bright side, after my last paycheck, I decided on a nice molle bag to keep it in, and it should be here tomorrow.

$1150 after taxes from a local shop. Actually not a bad price for the NY area for an S&W AR in 5.56. Larue front/rear sights were $200 total. Plus the 5 free mags. I need to find some pre-ban 20's or 30's though, to make my zombie kit more complete. And then get my pistol permit... (:

I missed Eville's question: It is gas operated.

Rednekk: Keep making awesome AR products and my money will keep going to MA.

Hot lipstick lesbians with AR's? Sweet!
oh, NiQ, break the barrel in with brass cased bullets, not steel. in fact, stay away from Wolf or any of that steel cased Russian ammo. You will be doing twice the cleaning after shooting that stuff.
