****Check my follow up***
I'm not looking for the M&P15 anymore. *I am finally getting an AR. I have a lot of Smith guns and like them so I am going to get an M&P15. Does anyone know of the best place to get an M&P15 according to price first and service second? I have seen online prices as low as 775.00 for a brand new one but then I would have to pay for a transfer as the dealer is out of state. Also should I get one with a heavy barrel or get it plain jane and juice it up after? Thanks in advance for the reply's. Andy.

Igues that would help. I'm on the southcoast of MA near New Bedford. Thanks.

Thank you. I figured the company store would be close to retail as stated on their website. I will give them a call and see if they can give me prices. Thanks.

The Smith store sells 20% below MSRP and has occasional sales that exceed this, I have a M&P-15X and it is dead nuts reliable, you can also pick up some 30 round pre-ban magazines at Four Seasons, they also have good prices on the M&P's and is only an hour from NB.

Thank you. I will check four seasons also. Much appreciated!

you can also drive about 10 minutes further to North Shore Firearms if FS doesn't have what you are looking for. I got a couple never used pre-ban 30 mags there recently and bought my M&P 15 there about a year ago. Great staff over there.

IMHO the M&P 15 is superior to the almost identically set up Bushmaster I have. Great choice.

Fixed it for you.

I really like FS, but their pre ban prices are just stupid.

 

[MassMark]

M&P is a nice ride...If you need pre bans, please take matt's advice and do not buy from most gun shops. They are stupidly priced. A dealer here was selling ratty pre ban mags for $50.00 a pop...You can get them for $10-15.00

I bought an M&P lower earlier this year. When I picked it up at the S&W store in Springfield I saw they had M&P 15s in stock for what seemed reasonable price of ~$980 (this was near the peak of the black-rifle hoarding frenzy). At this point I regret not just buying the whole rifle, because I think the cost for me to find a S&W upper, stock and LPK plus the lower may total over $1,000. To that end, does anyone have any recommendations where I can get a good price on a complete S&W M&P15 flat-top upper? I'd actually prefer a non-Mass-complaint one because I was going to cut off the bayo lug and shorten the barrel so that the final length with a pinned ban-compliant muzzle brake would be just over 16".

S&W M&P AR15 Upper $599

S&W 15MOE Upper in FDE $650

Or, if you want you can grab a BCM

BCM Standard 16" Mid Length Upper Receiver Group for $425 and customize it the way you want with the BCG, sights and rail/forend you want. I have this upper and it is super sweet. But there is nothing wrong with the S&W, heard a lot of good things about them.

Thanks again for all the feedback. Tons of good info and leads. I have made many phone calls and recieved the answers I was looking for due to all the responses here. Again THANK YOU!!!

 

[Skald]

Not sure if you were also looking for a 5.45x39 upper but found one for sale for about $675 and includes a DD M4 12.0 rail.

IM me if you want some more info.

Soooooooo, I changed my mind and now need advice on a different rifle. I shot the M&P15 against the Rock River LAR-8. I likey the LAR-8. The M&P15 was very nice, but I like the .308 round and I was more accurate after 500yds with the AR-10 variant. Now I need to find one!!! I am looking for the 24" varmint version with the heavy Stainless barrel. Anybody know the best place to get or order Rock River Firearms? The few I have found are way over MSRP. Not sure why!?! Demand I guess. Any help appreciated as always, Andy.

Best source around these parts for RRA is Pete at Legal Transfers in Hampton, NH.
www.ar15sales.com

I used him for my 1st AR, a RRA 20" A4 and I love it. He was easy to deal with and had the best price anywhere.

Good luck on tracking down a LAR-8...I am not sure if they are even being produced. I know they had alot of issues with it at one point. If they were available, they had insane lead times.

Thank you so much. I just got off the phone with them. $1219.00 shipped. No more problems with them. Can have one in early Feb if I order now. That's not too bad. Seems they are catching up with demand.
