    I have seen the S&W M&P15 Sportsman models for sale new in the $800.00 range. Real nice gun only differance i saw was it didn't have the forward assist button or dust cover over the ejection port.

    Yes, I found the Del-ton HBAR kit, but it is out of stock now.

    Price: $490.00

    I"m at work now so I can't surf gun shops but Check out Classic Firearms website. They have them on sale for $449. At least they did on Saturday when I ordered mine. Midway also has some Del-Ton kits.
    I ordered the dissipator kit

    Del-ton Kit + my $100 stripped lower from 2013 = Goodness :)

    EDIT: I see Walley beat me to it, should have kept reading.

    Mid South Shooters also has the HB Delton kits for $499 and they include a tactical case if you can't find one elsewhere. So for less than $500 and a less than $100 receiver you'd be ready to roll for $600 max.

    Just got AIM surplus email.
    S&W M&P sport $569
    Picture looks like an HBAR barrel but you'd have to talk to them about that plus removing the Hi Cap Magazine.

    I will...DI is fine with me. I've always thought its a poor craftsman who blames his tool. Just like many things, its usually lack of or improper maintenance causing issues as opposed to the actual design.
