S&W has a cult like following with the M&P15 Sport II. It definitely punches well above its weight class. Bang for the buck... you cant get a better rifle/carbine.
I just looked at this rifle this past weekend, planning on buying one soon. Thanks for posting this, very good info on what can be done to enhance this rifle!
Great video just bought one recently and found it to be versatile. I did change the hand rail and glad that I did. It truly changes the way the weapon looks. Great advice "better to have than not need then to need and not have."
I'm shocked that by coincidence, my build is almost identical. I like the Stngr rail setup. Just picked up the Battery Assist Device from magpul- it is a small lever that bolts onto the charger release tab and places a lever by the trigger guard- great feature. Also, invest in good shooting gloves.
I love your set up and rail...only thing your missing now Og if thats for home defense is a light...look into the bran NightStick I just grabbed a 1100 lumens light for mines. It has all attachments needed for install...and it would look great on your setup
Great video. Thanks for showing us all your upgrades. I would consider getting similar upgrades, but I am a bigger fan of the Stealth Grey than FDE, but both are beautiful :) As a side note, the way the mic picked up the rubbing of your hands on the various parts, you could market this video to gun nerds as well as an ASMR video 😂
Couple of recommendations if I may.rise armament 140 trigger.sig Romeo 5 dot.mission first tactical mags.blue force gear sling.all are budget friendly except the sling(about 65 dollars)nice rifle though.
I like that handrail nice I gotta look into that all I got left to replace on my M&P is the trigger,bolt ,and barrel but I’m in love with you’re handrail gotta get that
Great build buddy. I like your rail. I want to do a similar setup but need to go through the trouble of getting that front sight off which I heard can be a PITA
The rifle looks great. I just ordered the same exact rifle (minus the red dot) and am planning on doing some similar upgrades to mine. How do you go about removing the front sight? I wanna get a handrail like yours and add the flip up sights but idk what is involved in removing the front sight. Is that something you were able to do yourself or did you have to bring it to a gunsmith?
Great taste in Fde/Black. I have the vism handguard, but that stngr looks great. Mine is same color scheme but no front sight because ai have the original A2 post. Check out the new Magpul Fde dust cover. Easy to install
Love the video….i plan on picking up the same AR after watching dozens of review videos. I totally agree, this gun and the $2000 gun have the same effect, no need to spend top dollar all the time
I picked up a sport II with the red dot, $799 new, man the rices are going up. But I’m not impressed with the butt stock, I need a bit more cushion with a bad shoulder, and I find it very light, your description was on, it’s light, but barrel heavy, the front grip would be a nice add on to hold that barrel on target eliminate some of the barrel drop. I see no issue with the factory sight, I like it a lot. I use dots on every thing and that’s been my favorite so far. The plastic handrail I don’t like either so that’s a very nice upgrade. Just some of my nit picking, but even left stock it’s a well made product good price point. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I hope I never have to use it for anything but sporting. Yours is looking fierce!
Damn $799? Jeez in 2018 I got mine with another mag for $550. Changed it a lot too(installed the same STNGR HWK handguard as the guy in the video) and threw on some Daniel defense fixed irons with other magpul accessories.
@@GK-mr9ko yes it’s crazy how much prices have went up. And that was a pretty good deal with sights and all. In comes the popularity of cheap imports. Even used prices are getting stupid. At least ammo is starting to make a come back.
Thanks for this video. Nice build I just bought a sport 2 got the same rail with a holosun rd but I live in Commifornia so my grip is trash. Have not put it together yet. What gas block did you use?
I video of a gunsmith showing the proper ways to install a low profile gas block. He added a dimple so there are two dimples holding the gas block plus added a dimple pin. He cut into the barrel a little bit so the pen could be put in, but very well secure that’s how I’m gonna have mine done but awesome. I have been frustrated Guards and guards and now I see the one I want that’s awesome. Thanks the Smith and Weston site ready is Mill spec, but I’m wondering if the variance of the guard with different barrel nuts?
I just ordered mine! This is my first pew pew purchase. My buddy let me shoot his last weekend, first time shooting an AR, it was amazingly easy to shoot and fun. I’ve fired 12gauge shotguns, 22 rifles but that’s about it. Looking forward to doing some long range shooting with it. And when I say long range I mean like 200 yards max probably. What was the model of sights? Good video!
Nice set up good vid. I have a mp too an my set up is beastly so don't let anyone tell you mp's aren't good ar's. You had me til you said home defense gun. That thing is huge for self defense. Get yourself a ar pistol. My 300 blackout pistol is half the size of your mp but with a bigger cal, a laser an strobe. You can fit all the meat an potatoes on a smaller frame. Keep up the good work.
You did a great job I like the new but stock and free float with low gas block. Brother you can adjust your sights with a bullet also no need to keep it in the handle.
Beautiful. We recently bought one and I’ll be honest, when I started reading “starter AR” and “budget AR” I started to regret my decision. However I continued researching and found out there’s nothing to regret. It’s a quality, reliable rifle that performs great and is easily customizable. I’m very happy with it. I hope to have it looking like yours.
It's a fine rifle, don't spend your money for a free-float handguard, those are cool but your A2 front sight is just fine. Invest in a good optic, if you are looking for a good budget one SIG and Holosun make amazing and affordable red dots. If the stock, the handguard and the hand grip is too old school for you, I recommend you to switch for a Magpul MOE stock or CTR (this one had a lock to cancel any parasite move from the stock). A good cheap light and M-Lok hanguard: Magpul SL handguard carabin length. And for the hand grip, a Magpul K2 or K2+ ( Those have a more vertical profile, the K2+ has a nice rubber grip, BCM does similar grips for the same price). Those are small upgrades but let me tell you, they will be way less expensive than the price of a free-float handguard and a new gasblock. If the white marking annoys you, buy an Birchwood Casey Aluminum Blak. Apply it on the marking with a Q-tip from which you would have removed the cotton. This is a solvent made for weapon that will darken the white marking. Try to do that outdoor since it's a chemical. Stay safe, train and have fun !
“It’s better to have one and not need it, then to not have one and need it. Well said man! In the process of upgrading mine now
totally agree.
Such an American phrase lol
@@DJBEANZzROADTO1K that can go for anyone 😂
That's a very nice looking AR. I have a M&P15 Sport II as well. Nice to see someone else enthusiastic about the M&P15 as I am.
S&W has a cult like following with the M&P15 Sport II. It definitely punches well above its weight class. Bang for the buck... you cant get a better rifle/carbine.
Have yall ever had any overgassed issues with the m&p 15?
You guys are making me feel really good about my purchase lol
I love mine
@@tactical_shadow6 It's overgassed for reliability, S&W does it purposely to help prevent failure to eject issues.
I just looked at this rifle this past weekend, planning on buying one soon. Thanks for posting this, very good info on what can be done to enhance this rifle!
Smith & Wesson makes a really nice AR. I have one myself and it's great!
That rail cover was a nice touch. Makes so much sense. Ordering one today. Thanks!
Great video just bought one recently and found it to be versatile. I did change the hand rail and glad that I did. It truly changes the way the weapon looks. Great advice "better to have than not need then to need and not have."
Got mine last May for 506 shipped to ffl with the c/t red dot, I love it. I magpul mine out
Very nice rifle with some great additions, thanks for the excellent show and tell.
Great video, especially enjoy4ed the intro just saying the importance of owning a rifle, for a huge variety of reasons. good man
Good looking rifle bro! I love my Sport II! I've had mine for around 4 years now and have never had a jam or double feed! It's dead nuts reliable!
Nice set up, I love what you did with your rifle. Looks incredible!
I just picked my m & p sport ll up yesterday. Thank you for the great advice
Great job Just bought mine Love what you have done !!
Amen on having and not needing, or not having and needing!
I'm shocked that by coincidence, my build is almost identical. I like the Stngr rail setup. Just picked up the Battery Assist Device from magpul- it is a small lever that bolts onto the charger release tab and places a lever by the trigger guard- great feature. Also, invest in good shooting gloves.
I put a B.A.D. lever on mine but it wasn’t from Magpul. I paid around $5 for mine. It works the same.
Preach! Love the first minute intro.
Great video ! I really like they way you dressed up your S&W AR !
You message is resounding profound you have got to have the means to protect your family!! A year later amazing!
I don’t ever ever leave comment,
Excellent slick build!!!!! 💯💰🤑
this is what i call a build sir, its gorgeous
Thanks for this video. I never heard of Stingr but I'm now going to look them up. I appreciate this.
U a real one no other UA-camr will tell u that in a intro 💯💯 stay safe everybody
I love what you have done with that m&p sport 2 . Looks amazing!
Great video love what you did to your AR looks awesome.
Love my M&P sport 2 great gun. great video by they way.
People who say it's a beginner AR are the people who overpaid for theirs.
I used to assemble tapco AR & AK mags at my old job I'm Florida
Looks clean man.
I really really like how it looks 👍
It would be nice to have the links to your upgrades.
Great gun and video. M and P Sport 2 all the way. Thats my go to as well.
The only thing I'm changing on my S&W m&p is the foregrip. Reason being is when I fire it the foregrip get very hot. The rest of it works just fine !
Nice custom. All necessities. No extras. I like it
That's the nice thing about the AR-15 platform is there never truly stuck with what you bought You can always upgrade parts
I love your set up and rail...only thing your missing now Og if thats for home defense is a light...look into the bran NightStick I just grabbed a 1100 lumens light for mines. It has all attachments needed for install...and it would look great on your setup
Wow! Looks amazing!!
Really like the two tone look of the FDE and STNGR hand guard!
That's badass my friend
Great video. Thanks for showing us all your upgrades. I would consider getting similar upgrades, but I am a bigger fan of the Stealth Grey than FDE, but both are beautiful :)

i just purchased my first ar 15s&w i want to dress it up with the rail guard as well
Nice weapon brother, I Have A M&P Sports 2 with magpul upgrades plus I installed a swampfox trihawk 3x 3MOA Green.
Love the setup brotha💪🏾!
Couple of recommendations if I may.rise armament 140 trigger.sig Romeo 5 dot.mission first tactical mags.blue force gear sling.all are budget friendly except the sling(about 65 dollars)nice rifle though.
Like the color of your upgrade. The tan and bla6 looks tight.
I like that handrail nice I gotta look into that all I got left to replace on my M&P is the trigger,bolt ,and barrel but I’m in love with you’re handrail gotta get that
The only three parts that make it a gun are the trigger, bolt, and barrel, with chamber. You will be upgrading the entire gun. Very nice.
I heard the those hand guards are well made at a good Price. Good review.
I like the way you've dressed it up.
Best thing about modular builds is that you can customize it to your tastes
Great video! Didn’t know about about that pic rail guard from magpull that’s dope. Thanks Lionel richie! Jkjk lol great bud bro
Bad ass looking AR man. 👍
Very nice upgrades 👌🏽
Thank you Sir, you have given me some good
ideas... Nice Job Buddy...
That looks sweet I’ll have to upgrade mine as well 😍
Your advice is excellent-- subscribed
Bro, thank you. I have one, done my upgrades, made it my own, i subbed, keep it ip, Va. strong!
Uploaded!,play with it in the dark, just a tip.
Danny Green and Lavar Ball looking ahh 😂🤣 great videos thoe bro thanks for the info

You have your AR dressed up very nice! The Sports are solid rifles
I dig it. That thing looks sexy. My rail is from STNGR as well…thanks for sharing.
Looks AWESOME
Sexy looking rifle man, I hope you get more into firearms and your channel grows exponentially
The rail covers were a nice addition.
Nice looking rifle I like it.
Great taste in Fde/Black. I have the vism handguard, but that stngr looks great. Mine is same color scheme but no front sight because ai have the original A2 post. Check out the new Magpul Fde dust cover. Easy to install
Very good presentation...

thats sick, mine is set up very similarly as well.
Looks sick just bought that same rifle I’m super jealous
What a beauty
I picked up a sport II with the red dot, $799 new, man the rices are going up. But I’m not impressed with the butt stock, I need a bit more cushion with a bad shoulder, and I find it very light, your description was on, it’s light, but barrel heavy, the front grip would be a nice add on to hold that barrel on target eliminate some of the barrel drop.

Thanks for this video. Nice build I just bought a sport 2 got the same rail with a holosun rd but I live in Commifornia so my grip is trash. Have not put it together yet. What gas block did you use?
Awesome rifle brothergreat video
Nice setup 👌
The S&W M&P 15 Sport II was not my first AR. I picked it up as a get home tool it has a red dot and 45 degree irons. Shoots great and I love it
I video of a gunsmith showing the proper ways to install a low profile gas block. He added a dimple so there are two dimples holding the gas block plus added a dimple pin.

Exactly all the parts im wanting for my sport 2! Wish you had links to all the parts!
Im gonna have to do the same because of the weight. Nice video
Did you performed your install of the stinger rail and did you have to move/ change your gas tubing?
I just ordered mine! This is my first pew pew purchase. My buddy let me shoot his last weekend, first time shooting an AR, it was amazingly easy to shoot and fun.

i have a daniel defense v7 but im still jealous of your rifle lol and the money you have saved.
Informative. Links to the upgrades would’ve been nice.

Love my M&P Sport, I just need to get a decent optic for it.
The M&P Sport 2 is the best mid-range AR on the market. That mid-range price gets you a rifle the is not that far behind high-end rifles.
Well said brother, I am a new subscriber.... bravo sir
Get yourself a flashlight, I promise you will not be disappointed.
got a recommendation?
Where did get the gas block from?
Just for specs,May I ask how tall you are?? Still love it??? Anymore rifles & or upgrades?? Thanks.
You did a great job I like the new but stock and free float with low gas block. Brother you can adjust your sights with a bullet also no need to keep it in the handle.
You said you had your site tool in the pistol grip. Throw a few batteries for your red in there also
What a beauti 😻
Sweet set up
Very nice brother hope you have many years of service .

@@Milokitty-en5nb Yes exactly !
@@Milokitty-en5nb You can also apply it on small scratch to make them invisible !
@@takethisbeer4063 Gotchya. Mine actually came with the Betsy Ross flag which I definitely prefer over the MP logo.
