    Help Me Decide On Which AR 15 To Buy

    I purchased the Smith and Wesson M&P 15 Sport. I think I spent $650 out-the-door. I feel it is one of the best purchases, I've ever made. I've been buying firearms for over forty-five years. Good luck regarding your decision.

    Did you take a gun to school for a project?

    I attended a Catholic grade school in the sixties. I was allowed to take my father's .45 1911 and his .25 Colt for show & tell. My classmates and teachers were not alarmed, rather they thought how cool my father was.
