Re: Smith & Wesson M&P 15 sporter
If I remember correctly, this model has the Melonite treatment in and out on the barrel (good, but not as good as a chrome lined bore), 1 in 8" rifling (good), no dust cover, no forward assist and a non standard trigger guard (each not good, but not deal breakers unless you use it professionally). For $600, the price seems reasonable for a completely assembled rifle. With ARs, there are so many options available that making your mind up when buying is kinda difficult -- particularly when you factor in completed guns or the various stages of not completed ones.

I have this rifle, 800ish rounds down range. Accuracy is good, no FTF or FTE. Overall I am very pleased with the purchase.
Hope this helps..
