After seeing a local store raise their price by $40 between Monday and Thursday, I went out (to a different store) and picked up something I've been eying for a while: a S&W M&P15 Sport II OR MLOK. As usual, I paid more than I wanted but less than I feared, so I won't complain. Could have gotten one for less on GB, but then you add credit card fee, shipping, and FFL xfer fees, and you're pretty much back to what I paid anyway. I've got a Romeo5 on the way, and paid damn near as much for some ammo as I did for the rifle, but I'm happy with it. I had two previously, one was a RRA lower with a gun show upper, the other was a straightforward Armalite M4gery. Now I just need to get my back to heal up enough to go to the range!

5What's the difference between the original one and the # II ?
When I got my Ruger AR back in 2017 I almost went with the S&W.

6According to the web, which is of course always 100% reliable (har har):
Sport: 5R barrel with 1:8 twist (chrome lined?), fixed rear sight, no forward assist or dust cover.
Sport II: Mil-spec barrel is chrome lined with 1:9 twist, magpul rear sight (or in my case, no sights at all), has fwd assist and dust cover.
