I couldn't take the pressure and ordered another S&W M&P 15 Sport this morning, $570 OTD. The one I bought this past year has run without trouble and shoots as well as any AR I've owned (probably says more about me, than the rifles). This one will likely get an Aimpoint red-dot sight (when I find a good deal), as my other one has a 1x-4x scope.
Then later, surfing the 'net, I found a guy selling a new in the box M&P 15-22 with two extra mags, for $375 delivered (and my dealer doesn't charge me for transfers). I'm gonna leave this one basically stock (light weight) for the grand-kids, but it will get a red-dot sight and a set of MagPul BUIS, both of which I already have in the parts drawer.
