What kind of quality are the Smith and Wesson AR-15's?
Better than Rock River and DPMS, but not as high as Colt.
What kind of quality are the Smith and Wesson AR-15's?
I say as much as I can get relative to knowing what I want to add if I bought a basic rifle. I want accessory rails for a flashlight, forearm grip, bipod, etc, so a forearm with rail space is a must for me, plus I just like they way they look.
I just tried doing a search on their site for the colt and nothing came up, matter of fact just searching for ''Colt" didn't yield it either. I tried changing my store and had the same result. I wonder if they are not being sold in the Austin area. I recall seeing rifles at the Wal Mart off of 1604 near 151 in San Antonio when I went to visit my mother. Guess I need to schedule another visit.
DO NOT BUY FROM CABELAS.
High prices.why?
more "hate" for Rock River than i expected
i can't speak for other manufacturers but I love mine - and i dont consider it to be inferior whatsoever
RRA doesnt properly stake their gas keys, and I just dont care for the fit and finish of the rifle. Too much slop for me. OP, you need to handle these rifles first and shoot them before you come to a decision. I would be willing ot meet up with you and let you shoot my BCM if you buy ammo. Colt is great, been in the business a LONG time and make a high quality product. The smith and wesson is also a GREAT choice. Please please pleaseee avoid DPMS RRA and Bushmaster. I have seen toooo many people buy one, and then become highly unsatisfied with their purchase, when they could have bought a TON better quality product for the exact same price.
the Smith and Wesson rifles left a bad taste in my mouth.
