That button is to slam the bolt forward after it locks back from the last round. After your last round, the bolt will lock back. Load another mag, press that button and it will chamber another round so you can get back in the fight. 👍
I know I'm a bit late, but for anyone watching this that is thinking of getting this gun, I 100% recommend it. Bought it on my 18th birthday and it's been going strong for 6 months now. Easy to break down, clean, and upgrade parts just as I would expect from any AR15. The only jam I have had with this gun is when I forgot to oil the bolt carrier group after wiping it dry (completely my mistake.) Otherwise, it has run absolutely flawlessly! I have upgraded the pistol grip, stock, and handguard so far! Best budget rifle that will still get you all the functionality of a higher end rifle.
On a serious note I just have to say always remember to keep your finger off of the trigger until you are pointed down range and ready to fire. I'm not passing judgment but as a member of the firearm community we all have to have each other's backs for safety. Thank you for your review and I appreciate what you do on your Channel.
Also just checking the chamber for a bullet is not the way to be safe, some will shoot at a target to be sure, even once it’s checked put it back on the safety position and not the fire position especially if you keep your finger on the trigger, only have your finger on the trigger unless your ready to fire.
When you chamber a round pull that charging handle with more authority. Pull it all the way back let it go. You shouldn't have to use that forward assist every time. I just put together a new palmetto state Armory AR and I'm just excited as you are.
Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire, please teach good gun safety. That button is the bolt release you should really learn about a weapon before you take it out and fire it
That is exactly why accidents continue to happen. People are too lazy to learn the weapon before using it. Not only should they read the manual AND learn each function of their weapon, but also learn the proper terminology of every part of it. Of course first and foremost, they should learn proper gun safety and handling, before doing anything at all.
The little button on the left side of the rifle is known as a beaver tail in the military. As the previous comment said it is a bolt carrier release to chamber a fresh round once the mag is empty.
Button is the charging for bolt catch to load your first round into the chamber., it’s a good practice to use your safety button before you check your chamber. And then keep your safety on till you are ready to fire. So it goes, aim, take safety off, then fire, once done shooting, press safety back on.
I bought this same Rifle about 2 years ago. I like my Rifle very. There many like it but this one is mine. The Rifle is American made. It will shoot. The .223 ammo or the 5.56 ammo. It just says give me more. Ever had any issues or jams. Stay safe thanks for your videos. Peace.
You aren't going to find an AR chambered in .223 Rem. You can find em in .223 wylde which also runs 5.56. You cannot run the gun with the dust cover closed My first AR was also a M&P sport 2. It is a good basic rifle. It is definitely over-gassed. But that will make it reliable. I chose to slow my action down a bit and it runs much smoother. H2 buffer. M16 bolt carrier for the added weight and it still runs everything I feed it but a much smoother running gun. I added a Hogue over-mold grip and stock and that creepy gritty mil-spec trigger was replaced with a rise armament single rage duty trigger. Oh and you can kill the receiver rattle with some jp oversized pivot and takedown pins My M&P sport 2 has the feel of a rifle costing 2x as much
While you’re correct, my first AR was an M16. Back in the 70s, they didn’t really teach us that in Basic. They did have us on the range in a ton of crap weather, though. 😃
Good review on a great AR15 tried and true and proven over a decade of use by thousands of satisfied customers. Man I would be excited too. This dude was flapping his arms around so much I though he was going to take off and fly away. Would also recommend that you take a course in firearms safety.
Hey folks I’m thinking about adding a binary trigger to my S&W AR15 Sport II 5.56 and was wondering if any of you folks have any recommendations and suggestions on this.
How do you have a gun channel with sponsors but don't know what the bolt release is? Not trying to hate, but there's only 2 'buttons' on an AR... plus the forward assist.
Just picked one of these up yesterday. REALLY looking forward to trying it out. I did notice mine has a S&W logo on the right side (barrel pointed forward) where everyone else's has the M&P logo on it. I was only to find one site that had a photo of the Sport II with the S&W logo on the right side. It isn't even on the S&W website, so it has my curiosity pealed. Anyone else here got one like that ?
Great video man! I bought mine the week of Christmas last year! I've got the same handguard on mine with a CTR stock! also changed the grip! Just wish ammunition wasn't so crazy expensive! Godspeed!
Looking at getting into the AR scene again. The sport 2, radical forearms, diamondback are all possibilities. For this that have this rifle would you still recommend it for a durable, dependable starter?
The button you asked about is the bolt release, also when you charge the first round you need to pull the charging handle all the way back and let it slam closed if you do that you should not need to use the forward assist.
@@JimyOfficial yes definitely. It’s been a week since I ordered it. They’re going to be hard by to come by. You can just feel how hard is for stuff to come by
I guess this will be my second firearm after I get my first one (which will be a 9mm pistol). Unless, the Primary Weapons Systems UXR has a CA Compliant version and if I have the budget for the UXR when I’m about to get my second firearm. Or a budget friendly shotgun such as the Mossberg 500 or Maverick 88 (under $700).
So i bought mine a couple months back i added a 13.5 inch handgaurd an looking to put a sight on it but im supposed to be going hunting soon anybody know if it would be at least decent on deer ? Or an advice just dont have the budget to get another rifle
My FFL dealer recommended the Vortex strikefire 11 red/green Sight which I’m waiting for from Euro optic. He also said it’s great for deer hunting . I don’t hunt but if I did I would use this AR . Hope this helps
@@golf1king thanks for the info I’m definitely going to look into it it has a really nice appearance an price an you definitely boosted my confidence on going out with an ar blessings bro
Great quality video young man! I've wavered so many times when it came to buying this rifle. The only hang up was I already had enough guns but the deals for this were great
It comes with this little orange thingy 😂 It comes with the loops,.and a dust cover thingy. I even keep my finger on the trigger, there's also a button accessory thingy on the left side. My red dot is gonna be FIRE Tell me you are new to the firearm world without telling me
Cool video. Just curious how tight the lower and upper receiver fit together as far as having wiggle between the two? I have a few Colts which fit pretty snug but have been contemplating getting the Sport 2.
Ne ho uno, acauistato in Italia, in calibro 5.56 ma qui in Italia posso caricarci solo il .223 rem. E' un ottimo AR15, peccato però che per gli accessori lì in USA costano poco e si trovano ovunque, a differenza dell'Italia dove non è facile trovare l'accessorio della marca che si vuole acquistare e poi qui da noi i costi sono molto ma molto più elevati che da voi negli USA!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 KJV, Jesus Christ is the only way.......
cheap feeling ? you obviously don't know anything about magpul quality and durability, and you don't ride the charging handle as it chambers a round that's why it hung up on you. You got a lot to learn youngster
I almost went with the S&W, but switched to the IWI Zion 15 at the last minute. Crazy about it! I recently bought a blem PSA 10.5" AR-15 pistol that I also HIGHLY recommend for the money.

Thanks!! Now I know👍

If you have to ask UA-cam "what that button thing does" , you shouldn't be handling firearms.

I was gonna say. Kept urking me that he kept putting the finger on the trigger.
@@kyleevans2095 me too! He kept squeezing the trigger
Also, don't ride the charging handle forward and you won't have to use the 'accessory' (forward assist) lol
Also just checking the chamber for a bullet is not the way to be safe, some will shoot at a target to be sure, even once it’s checked put it back on the safety position and not the fire position especially if you keep your finger on the trigger, only have your finger on the trigger unless your ready to fire.
@@George-nn8ui you must be mentally disabled and blind if the mag is out and u check the chamber n nothing is in there it’s cleared
Another piece of advice, don't baby the charging handle, put it all the way back and just let it go. No need to use the forward assist if you do that.
When you chamber a round pull that charging handle with more authority. Pull it all the way back let it go. You shouldn't have to use that forward assist every time. I just put together a new palmetto state Armory AR and I'm just excited as you are.

Never had any jams. Auto correct texting sucks.
I brought this gun in May. So far good only 120rounds through it. Put red dot on last Sunday.
People tend to go to videos with the most views and likes but they never see these, great underrated review

That paddle is for releasing the bolt forward, I put a gen 5 bolt release on mine you use your trigger finger to close, its a nice option to have.
I have an M&P 15, and that little button on the side is to slam the bolt home after it locks backward after firing the last round.
Hey folks I’m thinking about adding a binary trigger to my S&W AR15 Sport II 5.56 and was wondering if any of you folks have any recommendations and suggestions on this.
KEEP THE BOOGER SHOVEL OFF OF THE BOOM SWITCH!!!
America is the greatest place in the world to buy, load, and shoot an AR-15 when you don’t even know what the bolt release is. Luv it!!
😂😂
How do you have a gun channel with sponsors but don't know what the bolt release is?
Not trying to hate, but there's only 2 'buttons' on an AR... plus the forward assist.
Index that finger buddy until you’re ready to fire! You don’t want an accident.
I run my sport 2 suppressed...runs flawlessly
Your review and honesty is very informative, thanks bro
🇺🇸💪🏽💯👍🏽
That "Little orange thingy" is called a chamber flag😊
It’s also used to push the pins out for breakdown/cleaning.

I was wondering why you were leaning back when shooting?
My thought exactly. Nice kid,someone really needs to take him through a shooting class.
Got mine back in 2018. You could find them for under $500 back then. The times have changed.
€820 here!!!
Retail is $789 now
That’s impossible, this is made by Smith and Wesson with lifetime warranty. No, way it was w we in the $400’s no way.
@@videogazer801He’s not lying. This gun was going for $450-$500 back in 2018-2019.
Got mine for $549 at the beginning of 2023 with the $100 rebate
Just got one today can't wait to take it out next best thing is to watch your review💯💯
The button you asked about is the bolt release, also when you charge the first round you need to pull the charging handle all the way back and let it slam closed if you do that you should not need to use the forward assist.
I just purchased the same rifle at tombstone tactical in Phoenix for $657.00.can the safety be flipped around for a lefty?
"the accessory button" LMAO holy shit man that was a funny joke
LOL the scary thing is, I don't think it was a joke...
Good video! Thanks for sharing.
I paid 600 for mine on Black Friday at the hub gun store in Tucson

The MLOCK model tends to be more expensive than the base model. Not the other way around I believe.
I know… but where I bought mine they were the same price.
You CAN shoot a 5.56 NATO through a .223 REM. It's highly NOT recommended, but you can in a pinch.

223 Wylde... you can fire 556. Oh, I'm assuming you're a new shooter, based on, product knowledge, stance, and poor safety practices. Keep learning.
Everything about this AR15 is illegal in California 😂

I’m astonished how bro made it to adulthood with his lack of common sense with an AR-15 like dawg look it up lmfao

Just put a mag pul stock on it
slap the box one more time. i bet you wont
