I picked up a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 Optics Ready. I have a Bushnell Holosight mounted on it for now. I'll probably be upgrading that in the future. The Holosight is good, but I want something with a bit of magnification.

I paid a little more than I would have if I bought 4 months ago($970), but I don't see these getting any cheaper in the near future.

M&P 15

The fleet

(Benelli Supernova Tactical, Mossberg 500, Beretta CX4 Storm 9mm, M&P, Ruger KP95, Beretta U22 Neos)

Very cool! ..... unless you're some nutjob who's planning to take out a bunch of people, in which case it's scary ;)

How long is your barrel? Mine doesn't seem too big at 18". It also has ghost ring sights. Unless you're using 3.5" slugs, it's pretty comfortable to shoot too.

I dunno, it is stored far away from me and I haven't seen it in a long time. I guess I was just assuming yours was the same size since it is the biggest gun there. Great value gun though, I got mine for something like $250 and it does everything I could want.

Head on over to arf. I like iron sites as a backup. Damn fun to shoot and damn accurate.

I never found the "want" to get an ar. Its cool, but I just don't use it that much. Shoulda gotten one though, could make a killing reselling it. Will probably go the 9mm route when I do get around to putting one together though. Why are you posing them barrel down? Yea, carpet won't hurt it, but I always try to baby my crowns.

Why the two 18" shotties? I have a supernova myself for the clays and need to pick up one of the 18" 870's or 500's soon.

Yea, you are lacking in the bolt department.

Is there a difference between AR15 and Colt m4a1?

automatic

and

semi-auto (for civilians)

No. The M4 has three round burst, not full auto.

Edit NM. Didn't see the A1.
