| Posted about 1 year ago You would be well served with either one. I personally own a bushmaster, but would have no qualms carrying a s&w. All thats is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. |

| Posted about 1 year ago either or... they are bout on par.. but I think the S&W wtih that rail and back up sights is a fair price.. but then again I never buy a AR out right.. i just build them from whatever parts from whatever company I want. Everything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing at all.. |

| Posted about 1 year ago Either. Both are quality rifles. You are clearly better than everyone, our safety and the laws should be of no concern to you. MODERATOR #6 |

| Posted about 1 year ago You can't go wrong with either one. They are both equally accurate out of the box and comparable in price. They should serve you very well with what every one you choose. I would think you would be able to find an M4 a little bit cheaper though. |

| Posted about 1 year ago I just got a Bushmaster after looking at both, I think Bushmaster might come out ahead just by a little because they have been making them longer. I also think the M&P had a couple of issues when they first came out |

| Posted about 1 year ago I like the bushy's out of the box, due to the 14.5 barrel with the izzy hider.. Good quality product with a decent price.. RRA's are built like a rock, I'd call them the chevy of the AR world. Everything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing at all.. |

| Posted about 1 year ago I prefer Bushmasters. But then I've never really been around the M&P much. Never had an issue with my bushy. Experience is something you gain just after you've needed it..

| Posted about 1 year ago Our agency in the last month issued out the S&W and we have had no complaints. As a FI it's a superior weapon fitted out just the way it should be. I have used the Bushmaster as well also a superior rifle. Don't think you'll go wrong with either. |

| Posted about 1 year ago Any name brand AR is great, as long as you keep it lubed and as clean as possible. They will do good by you. Everything you do can get you killed, including doing nothing at all.. |

| Posted about 1 year ago I saw one at a shop in Reno last week. It looked alright, I think Bushmaster is making them for Remington. |

I will have to sit down and take another closer look again. I only have 1 AR type rifle right now, but I'm planning on getting a couple of more recievers and build a few more real soon. |

They're new this year. Dubbed the R-15 and made by Bushmaster (which is now part of Remington Arms), it's set up as a 'hunting' variety AR and only available in that configuration. Sorry...no CQB types available. You are clearly better than everyone, our safety and the laws should be of no concern to you. MODERATOR #6 |

| Posted about 1 year ago I saw the Remington in Outdoor Life. It did not receive great reviews from the writers but that does not meant anything. I am interested to see how this gun progresses. |

| Posted about 1 year ago Bang for your buck it has to be the bushmaster you can get more for your more and now black water is using them as a base for their own rifle called the BW15 check them out |

| Posted about 1 year ago I vote for the Bushmaster. At work we put thousands of rounds down range during training with minimal issue's and usualy they are a direct result of a weapon that had a couple thousand rounds through it with out a single cleaning. We work them hard and there reliabilaty is tried and true. |

| Posted about 1 year ago Get a Piston operated instead of a traditional Gas operated. A lot of S.W.A.T teams in the area are switching to 6.8 for a little more put down. Just some things to consider. Amateurs train until they get it right, Professionals train until they can't get it wrong. |

A couple of months ago I started with the Federal Reserve Bank Police. We have S&W AR's and I am sad to say they are not holding up. The end of the gas tube is expanding after just a few hundred rounds on three of our rifles. It is a rare occurance to get through a course of fire without having stoppages. We have two full time armourers on duty during qualifications just so we can get every one through in a timely manner. When ever I go on duty I grab one of our few remaining bushmasters. They seem to malfunction a lot less. Experience is something you gain just after you've needed it..

| Posted about 1 year ago I know this is an old topic- but FYI I would go neither...you can save hundreds by getting similar quality rifles by just making them yourselves...

| Posted about 1 year ago I have an AR and LIKE it, my agency has no policy set in stone on rifles as long as we qualify and take a rifle course. What about a mini-14 instead of an AR? Same caliber, just as easy to use and a whole lot cheaper! what do you think? While you sleep soundly at night I risk my life to make sure to make sure you never wake! |

The mini 14 is an ok weapon. The AR is a lot more advanced. But what it all comes down to in the end is comfort. The AR is just so darned handy and comfortable to use. But there is nothing wrong with the mini 14. It has the same action as other great rifles. M-1 Garand, M1-A1, M-1 carbine. It is a deadly weapon in trained hands. I have 2 of them. Experience is something you gain just after you've needed it..
