Ruger AR556 & Smith & Wesson MP15 Sport II on 1/20/16…

Good afternoon all and Happy Hump Day!!!  If you are in the market for an entry level AR platform rifle, the shop is worth visiting today.  We have the two hottest selling entry level rifles on the market.  The Ruger AR556 and the Smith & Wesson MP15 Sport II.  Ruger had started taking over market dominance with their AR556 rifle last year as they were the only ones making a quality name brand rifle that had both a forward assist and a dust cover in the $600-700 price range. Smith & Wesson saw that the market liked the extra features and decided to make an upgraded Sport model with both the forward assist and dust cover and the MP15 Sport II was born.  The only real difference (aside from the manufacturers) is that the Ruger AR556 has a barrel with a 1-in-8 twist and the Smith & Wesson MP15 Sport II has a 1-in-9 twist.  These are both great rifles to consider if you are in the market for an entry level weapon that you can take to the range right out of the box and enjoy.  Both also come with the lifetime warranty that you get when you buy any Smith & Wesson or Ruger weapon.  As always, thank you for reading the Blog at gunshinearms.com
