[QUOTE="Super Dave, post: 1500676, member: 8429"] You know, I have never had any kind of mags, just standard GI. All kinds of different color followers. I always load 30. I can't think of a time this S&W M&P 15 has ever given me a lick of trouble. I know it's not a bottom of the barrel gun, but I'm sure there are higher quality "off the shelf" ARs. I would guess S&Ws are middle of the road in the choice of parts they use. Now my boy, the 17 year old has a Spike's lower, Model 1 Sales upper that is chrome lined. Same story for reliability, and he is currently going through a quantity over quality issue with his shooting. We shoot every thing in those two guns, from Wolf and Brown Bear, to NATO brass, to store bought fancy varmint stuff. I think that factory, middle of the road, average guns. are the same as Harleys. When I worked at the dealership, we had varying quality that we got from them. We called the really smooth running and riding bikes Wednesday bikes. Most others were Monday or Friday bikes. You see, on Monday, all those yankees stumble in to work all hung over, and tired from the weekend. The tooling was freshly set up, so things were a little bit too tight. You don't want a Monday bike. By Friday, the tooling is worn, and aching to be replaced. Same for the workers. They can't wait to be gone, so they pay less attention. You don't want a Friday bike. Wednesday bikes are just right. I think My S&W is a Wednesday gun. [/QUOTE]
