Cash and Carry AR....

[verizonguy]

Just throwing this out here to see if anyone knows the official answer on this. I have come across a Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport for a price that I am really having a hard time saying no to. I usually build all my AR's, but for this price, I can't pass it up.

My question is this. Is a Smith and Wesson M&P15 Sport 223 Rem | 5.56 NATO - 811036 considered a cash and carry AR? I ask this because I have (2) people I know that each bought the same AR I am looking at. The paperwork was done at (2) different locations and each FFL dealer told them each something different. My one friend was allowed to take the AR as Cash and Carry, and the other was told it was regulated and had to wait for the registration paperwork to come back.

So which is it, is it Cash and Carry, or is it regulated?

It would appear that it can be both depending on your FFL. I would buy it/transfer it to one who will do it unregulated.

This is the model with the heavy barrel and without the dust cover, correct? Last shop I was at they were selling them cash and carry b/c of the heavy barrel.

If the M&P Sport is a copy of the Colt Sporter HBar, it should be cash & carry

My Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport was regulated...non cash and carry... This purchase was little less then 2 years ago...

Some dealers do and some don't. Bass pro is more strict than others. I can think of at least two dealers off the top of my head that sell/transfer the M&P Sport as an HBAR.

The one I purchased was regulated.

Yeah, it looks like no dust cover or forward assist.

Yep this right here. All Hbar models are cash and carry, tapered barrel to accommodate a grenade launcher= regulated.

correct the sport model has no dust cover or forward assist, while the regulated M&P 15(non sport) has a dust cover and forward assist and runs a few hundred dollars more than the sport.
