M&P 15 Sport 2 / Full Review / Best Value AR-15

- The best bang for buck AR15. The Smith and Wesson M&P 15 Sport 2 is all about quality, reliability, and superior performance. Basic features, specs, what you get with this gun, how it compares to the competition, will be explained. This is a better overall rifle than the Diamondback DB15, Palmetto State Armory PA-15, Anderson AM-15, and the Ruger AR-556. Table talk and shooting at the range. This is one of the most reliable rifles you can buy at a great budget price, I paid $699 for mine but have seen them up to $100 cheaper then that.
I bought myself a sport 2 a few years back and was at the outdoor range with a couple guys that had top end colt and Daniel defense rifles that were four or five times the cost. Or more... if it wasn't for gravity, they wouldn't hit the ground. I was outscoring them at 200 yards to their 50 or 75 yards. A lot of it comes down to operator skill, but Smith and Wesson made a damn fine gun. I put a scope on it, I have 3" groupings at 300 yards. It's a badass rifle!
Amazing! That's been my experience as well 👍
I’m in the process of purchasing one. I’ve been looking at other rifles that cost a lot more. I’ve did some research and decided to buy the rifle. I’ve only heard positive things about and the price you really can’t beat.
@@Jordan-jx6zcI just bought mine today and I can’t WAIT to shoot it
@@BLKKINGNRG your going to love it bro. I’ve put over 1,000 rds through it not 1 malfunction. That’s cleaning and doing proper oiling also. Have fun bro. I sure am. So accurate . All around great rifle imo.
At age 78 and a retired LEO I finally recently bought my first AR, the very one you just described. You have provided the best weapon review that I have seen.. great job. I’m now a subscriber..
Thank you very much George! I appreciate your support and will try and have more good reviews coming soon
I actually bought the M&P 15 Sport II because of this review and am pleased, took this to the range and other people with other AR's kept asking me what AR mine was. I put the HE510C GR HOLOSUN and zero it with a .556 boresighter at 25 yards and I am shooting tight groups at 50 & 100 yards. Stoked, almost bought the COLT m4 carbine. Glad I checked this out, I also watched the M&P 15 Sport II melt down by Iraqveteran888 and confirmed every doubt I ever had. Appreciate you and thanks.
Hey thanks a bunch! Glad you enjoy ur new rifle, it should serve you well. I'm about to do a follow-up review on mine because it's been so solid with not one problem or malfunction ever 👍
Awesome man! Yeah the meltdown video really proves that this is one tough rifle
Watching this review helped me decide to get the sport two and i must say im extremely happy with my choice
Awesome! Yeah I love mine to death and zero problems with it still. Thanks for the comment Delmar!
About 3k rounds and I believe only cleaned once....not one single malfunction! Great AR for sure. My favorite thing about this AR is how we met! 499.00 on a Black Friday of 2019. 😍
right before shit hit the fan! congrats!
Here in swiss i paid 1200$ 😪
i bought mine just yesterday , april 12 , here in Miami , 760
Just bought a Sport 2, used, for about 5 Franklins. Bare bones except for a RDS (cheapo). No static at all from wife, in fact we are going to range tomorrow for "familiarization". LGS owner took it apart to show lack of wear & tear on BCG.
Killer deal! I just bought mine for $640 on Buds online.
I’m pretty new to this AR world, but I love guns. Pistol shooting and hunting rifles mostly. I have to say this seems like it’s quickly becoming the Glock of the AR world. Nothing fancy. Just plain and simple reliability, with the extreme ability to customize. Gotta love it
Yeah man, good way to put it. Basic and bulletproof, all you need and nothing more
@@bikesandbangs I've had 2 of these for years now and 10s of thousands of rounds through both. Have never had a issue with either gun. Best AR for the price no question.
Amazing!
this gun is trash for the prices
Just purchased one and bought ammo. I was surprised at the 5.56 Nato size, it seems small.
Your review is great.
The best m and p sport 2 review on UA-cam. Thanks for taking your time to share your opinion. I bought on last week now need to wait for the liscence.
Hey thanks a bunch! It's been a great gun for me, no problems, eats everything for ammo, couldn't be happier with it. Ur gna love it 👍
Well im convinced. This will be a good first ar15 gun for me.
Most definitely!
I bought mine a week ago. Love it
@@billroberds9075 I'm loving mine still!
Did you pick one up yet man?
@@JimyOfficial I ended up getting a Colt CR6920 Enhanced Patrol Rifle. :)
_I got my M&P last week. Your review is one of the best ones, thank you_
This is probably the best video ive seen for a review on this. Ive been looking for more info and trying to make the right purchase and im happy to make this my 1st AR purchase once it goes on sale again. Thanks for the great and honesy review.
Thanks for your great review. I've had my M&P 15 Sport 2 for several years and it has served me well. It definitely gets the job done.
Enjoyed your review! You talk fast, clear and precise with few, if any, um's & uh's. Lots of excellent verbal & visual information -- pretty much everything you'd need to know before you buy. You've sold me on the M&P 15 Sport II. THANKS muchly!!
Thanks guy! It's a solid rifle and I'm beyond impressed with it. It will serve you well 👍
Excellent review! Bought mine last week and taking it to the range tomorrow for the first time. Happy New Year!
Bravo, what a perfect demo.
You have answered all of my questions and concerns and l did go and buy TWO of your s&w sport model 2"s from sportsman warehouse and l love 'em..
Definitely one of the better reviews. I actually watched it after purchasing my M&P but it confirms my choice was a good one!
It was! This is going to be a great rifle for you, mine has never failed me
Same here... Seen some vids but this one after the purchase... This video is informative and confirmed my investment... TY
Own an m&p sport 2.. you put a lot of time and effort into your review, thank you!
Thanks Michael!
Great video! I have been racking my brain on what to get and I am now convinced this rifle is it. Thank you for taking the time you did and for this video.
Great Review. It showed me exactly what I needed to know as a beginner. Other reviews just shoot the rifle and don't actually show close ups on the actual gun to explain each part and how it functions.
Hey thanks man. That's exactly why I made this video, for people just getting into it because this is what I wanted to see when I was looking for one 👍
Cool video!! I got mine last year, with a Magpul hand guard and vertical foregrip with an integrated light. I've already upgraded to an ambidextrous charging handle and a sturdier butt stock. It's a great gun!! 👍
Best UA-cam review I've watched on any rifle. Subscribed.
Hey thanks! I appreciate it and will try to keep them coming 👍
Thank you my friend, by far the best article I’ve seen so far about the AR 15. Thank you for putting everything in perspective. I believe I’m sold. Have a great day.
Thanks Tim! 👍
I would say, you hit the nail on the head as far as to comparisons of the different brands, I have two of the M&P's and I just love them, although I paid a little more for them, because of the current climate, it was the better option.
Yeah I bought mine at top price range with no sites sucked but have some now
Hey Micah.
Great review man...Straight forward with the stock weapon.
I've watched a lot of reviews for this beauty and you are the most informative without all the technical jargon that most new shooters wouldn't understand.
Great range time video. Again, straight to the points most would need to know when considering this rifle.
I did not fast forward any through the whole video. Even watched it twice. Keep up the good work!
Hey thank you very much Mark! I appreciate it
Just got mine 2 days ago and I love it. Great review
Had mine for about 7 years no problems at all I love it for a back up ar-15
Excellent review. Groovy music and even better commentary. Thank you!
Hey thanks!
Great review. Easy to follow and straightforward with good information. Made my decision now.
I love my M&P15 Sport II. I ALSO REALLY LIKE the production quality of your range time. Thank you.
Very nice review. I used its big brother in Vietnam in 1969 and was interested in seeing what changes, if any, had been made. This looks like the closest to the original, which is what I'm looking for. Appreciate you pointing out all the features, something a lot of reviewers omit.
Hey thanks Harry! Yes this does kind of have the classic look to it and that was attractive to me as well. It's an extremely reliable and well built rifle, I would definitely recommend it 👍
Poppa, thanks for the detailed breakdown. I've been rocking my AKs, but have wanted to get more into the AR platforms, and I can say your walkthrough informs me well enough to see where to start.
Excellent! Thank you sir
one of the best videos i have ever seen on here.Thank you ....
Hey thank you very much Sir!
Micah, I just purchased my first AR-15 ... It is the exact rifle you are reviewing in your video. Excellent job explaining and reviewing this fine product. I am ready to go to the range and shoot my new AR-15. Again, Excellent job, Excellent video!
Hey thanks man, and awesome! It's a super fun rifle and it's always going to work perfectly. Mine has been so good to me I decided to spoil it with a red dot sight. Putting it on this gun tmrw and reviewing that coughsigsauerromeo5cough 👍
Man, this is a pretty glowing review for this rifle, gotta say! Highly considering the Smith for my first AR. I appreciate your positive attitude brother.
Thanks Joseph! It's a great rifle, no regrets here 👍
I gotta say wow excellent review especially because I saw this a day after I just bought my smith and Wesson sport 2, I feel safer now knowing this is a great weapon!!
Yes sir, one of the best. You will have no regrets with this rifle 👍
Smooth video and 💯 % informative 👌
About to purchase one for sure tomorrow. Just love the way it looked and felt last weekend when I checked them out. Heck might even get two of them
wow best video I’ve seen in a while love the fact you dumb it down and I picked up a lot, I have 2 of these models… thank you
BEST VIDEO YET I'VE SEEN ON THE M&P SPORT 2 , LUV MINE 600 ROUNDS AND COUNTING NO PROBLEMS. THANKS BRO, ILL BE WATCHING
Thank you very much Michael!
Great review. Thanks for helping me decide on a good budget AR.
No problem, thanks Edwin!
Great review. I actually looked at all the usual suspects that you mentioned and must agree that the M&P 15 does stand out. I am trying to do this on a budget since it will be a back up.
Yeah I think this M&P beats everything else in the same price range. I have no regrets with mine, most reliable rifle I have
Love it. Purchased my this past weekend. Can’t wait to get to the range. My 1st AR!!!
Awesome! Good choice, it's a rifle that will work as hard as u want it too, you'll see 👍
Good job on getting your first rifle. We need way more rifle owners and I believe we’ll see many more first time owners with the nonsense bill just passed by the house.
Iv been watching the AR15 reviews and comments on them as I'm going to be looking to buy 1. There are so many companies making AR15s. My advice is to watch all the reviews as you can find. The reviews Iv seen on the S & W M&P have all been good.
Great explanation. Thanks
Excellent review and video. Great shooting too. Thank you for sharing.👍
Thanks man!
@@bikesandbangs My pleasure.
Great review! One of the best I have seen on any AR platform rifle but you left out one of the best and most important features on this rifle. Armornite. Most reviewers leave it out because they are either not sure, or don't know what it is. So here goes. . . . . .
Armornite is S&W's terminology for the Nitride process. Same as Glock's Melonite process. Which is a form of Ferritic nitrocarburizing. Ferritic nitrocarburizing (Nitride for short) is a Case Hardening technique that uses heat, nitrogen and carbon to toughen up the exterior of a steel part, improving its durability, lubricity, appearance and corrosion resistance. Since this treatment includes the entire barrel including the bore. There is no need for chrome lining.
I hope this helps a bit. It's always good to share information.
Just bought this AR last week. I'm with you keeping mine the way it is just going to add a red dot maybe a sling.
Excellent, informative review 👍🏼
Thanks man!
Nice review. I like the confidence in the "I'll outshoot you challenge"...👍
Thanks man!
Best review I’ve seen on anything in general
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Really good review. You covered every important aspect of the rifle. Very useful. Saved and subscribed. Thanks.
Thanks Brian! I appreciate the support!
Man, I loved this video! I'm new to the AR platform and looking to get my first one. I've been looking into the M&P 15 and this video was perfect.
Definitely have a new subscriber here.
Cheers
Great video, man!
I love my SnW AR15 i did change my grip to a Hogue rubberized n finger cut out grip its so good !! Great video Brother very thorough
Nice review, much appreciated.
The best review by far ….. respect ✊💯
Hey thanks man!
you made my day....just bought one 3 weeks agoWent with SW because all my revolvers,MP 2 are excellent built. Really impressed they went with magpul accesories also.....QUALITY
Yes, this rifle performs great and has been nothing but reliable for me. Can't go wrong with Smith & Wesson. Thanks!
sad SW are moving after 187 years in Massachusetts but us people from Maine don't call them Massholes for nothing.@@bikesandbangs
I agree 1oo% with your view of this AR 15. I have had mine for several years. One thing I added that I really like is, a large downward handle about centered on the bottom of the front hand guard. Makes it feel kind a machine gun style..lol They tell you you must replace the hand guard to a hand guard that has rails to do that. But I just removed the two halves of the front hand guard (like you mentioned) and put the bolts through this hand guard, and it bolted solid right to this without any rails or changing of the hand guard. Works great sturdy and looks great! I love it. Very cheap add on, from cheaper than dirt company. Oh by the way they sell a tool just foe holding that part down while you remove the front guard. I have one and it is nice even though seldom used. Thank you for the honest video!
The part that I bolted to the bottom of the front guard, was a very small section of rail. Then the large pistol grip simply mounted to that. No need to replace original hand guard. Hope this helps someone.
Very good review
Thank you. Very informative.
Well done . Great video
Thank you Bryan!
Buying this NOW after this Review, Thanks 👍👍👍
Awesome! It will serve u well
Thank for this video, it was great info. I’m definitely get one of these. 😎👍🏽
Good! U should, excellent little rifle
hey great overview, man. outstanding content here.
Thanks Jon!
This is a very informative video for a new owner thanks!!
Good choice. Thanks for posting.
Excellent review.
I like the stock look, however I did add two picatinny rails to add a flashlight and a shorty handle grip under the hand guard. I also added a reddot scope to go along with the factory sights which are perfect.
Hey great review I was deciding between a few AR's and made the choice to purchase the M&P Sport 2 with the Crimson trace. I also looked at the Ruger AR-556, and agree with you.
I really do like my M&P 15 Spot 2. I got mine back in 2019. After getting out of the army, back in 1990-1991. ( Why did it take me so long? I don't know. ) The only thing it did with it after about 6 month. Was the furniture / externals. Nothing internal, has been changed. Never really shot anything beyond around 100 yards, just yet. Iron Sights, were pretty much in zero. Then got a Scope. ( Zeroed in, with in a silver dollar size at 100 yards. ) And then change over to a red dot. Still need to re zero the red dot. Nothing has failed me yet. Even after around 5000+ rounds. Only one double feed, in the early stages. ( Maybe, a bad round? ) Still love this rifle. Never, giving it up.
Great review!
I didnt know I needed this video.... but I did.
Very happy with mine. No issues.
Great review. I have the Sport 1 and 2. Both have never failed me. In fact I don't even miss the forward assist and dust cover on the Sport 1. None of my other semi-auto rifles have dust covers and they all work just fine for me. Both rifles, sandbagged will get 1.5 to 2 MOA @ 100yds with cheap 55g ball practice rounds. Not bad for a $600 AR.
I agree! I have the 15T and while I’ve never measured my moa, based on my targets at 100 yards, the S&W will do just fine in a shtf situation.
Awesome review! I was slightly on the fence but not anymore
Recent sale put these at pre COVID prices and I picked one up. I was surprised how accurate and solid it is. This is a bargain…the ARs double and triple the price are not 2& 3 times better IMO, and this is a great addition for anyone’s armory.
Thanks for this great educational video.
Good job! You're review was outstanding but my eyes got to old for the iron sights and I had to upgrade. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Pops!
Great review, very informative
Thanks Ted!
Great review of rhe m&p 15
Thanks man!
This is my first riffle I haven’t got it yet going to finish paying it off this week can’t wait to pick it up and shoot it for the 1st time
I bought mine April 2nd, 2021! used my stimulus check. First gun I ever bought. Also went on to buy an M&P9 Shield Plus.
Shield Plus is amazing, can't think more highly of the M&P lineup
Welcome to the camp, brother. Glad you made the decision to begin practicing your God given right to bear arms.
Great video and review. 😊
Thanks Bruce!
I’ve been very happy with my Sporter 2. I’ve never had a malfunction what so ever. I did swap out the forend for a UTG Pro MTU001SS that has a full length pic rail on top and M-Lock. Replaced the charging handle with a Radian Raptor, and put an Aimpoint PRO red dot on top. Also added a small side pic rail for my Surefire light. It is a solid platform.
Good to hear man. I'm thinking one of these days I'll throw on some fancy furniture and deck mine out. It's been so reliable, it deserves it lol
Just bought that same one! $780 out the door! Can’t wait to customize it and take it to the range 😁
Hek yeah man, Im getting a few goodies to throw on mine as well 👍
Great Review thanks
I bought mine 1.5 yrs ago when the riots hit. Spent about $700 which is more than I wanted but at least it was available. Swapped out all the garbage furniture that it came with and upgraded to a free floated. Threw a Vortex strike Eagle on top and now I’m good to go.
If I had to buy another I’d spend the extra $ and go with a Daniel Defense m4a1 or a Geissele super duty
The Daniel's are great guns, maybe one day here I'll snag one of them. Stupid prices on everything seem like they go up daily lol
So love this rifle, it will be my first gun!
Perfect review,
nice gun nice review. keep your channel growing :-)
Thanks! Will do 👍
1st time I've seen any of your videos and I was impressed! Very nicely done review. I have one & made a couple of mods to mine. Just as a side note, your background music is way TOO loud.
Thanks man! And yes, I have addressed the music in more recent videos 👍
excellent vid! - I love this gun. good baseline. you can run it as is or, for VERY little extra money you can add on parts for easy upgrades. The cheapest one and (for me was the most fun) was buying new furniture. its really where S&W saves some money the forend is really bad i live in the desert. I don't dump mags, these guns barels get hot. The forend does nothing to midigate that. talking about barrel twist, 1:9 vs 1:8 I've used both never had a tumbling issue with 77gr bullits at 500 yards.
Very good review definitely something that can defend the life of your familiy or you and not that expensive to be carried out your vehicle reliable.and rugged
Great Video! Just picked one up.
Awesome! It's gna be a great rifle for ya 👍
Great Breakdown, Very knowledgeable, YOU should become a Firearm Sales Rep for Smith and Wesson ( YOU have demonstrated that you have the skills needed )
Thanks man! Maybe one day, who knows 👍
Pickin mine up on Tue! DUDE! I LOVE THAT SONG! I Shazamed it Danger Cat "Lone Wild" That was a fun informative video and I jammed toooooo!
Awesome Torchy! Glad u liked it 👍
I pull tab out out opposite of the magazine eject button and it is holding bolt back now. Question is that supposed to do that auto? Because when racking first shell it always gives a dead shot but after it gets going on second Rd it's good to go. So I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong.
Just Ordered Mine Today! Thanks for the video! Christmas present to me,from Santa.lol
Very nice! That's gotta be the best gift Santa has ever given lol
Just got mine on sale for $614 total I’m geeked. $900 rifle for far below retail is a steal in my eyes & for my first AR
Dang that's a great deal, tough to go wrong at that price
Great job
Thanks Mike!
As an ogre, I personally enjoyed your flair and validation of my purchase. Well done.
Thanks Kevin!
This guy is fabulous.
You talked me into it. 😃👍
Glad to hear it Larry!
solid review
Thanks man
