Ive been trading texts with a guy for about a week to trade for his Smith Wesson M&P15.
The problem is hes not sure what model it is. He's explained that the rifle has no foward assist or dust cover so this leads me to believe that its started as a Sport model. Then he explains that the barrel is stamped 5.56 1/7. Im assuming this means a 1:7 twist but, I thought the Sport had 5R rifling.
So first am I right about the markings?
Does the MP15 line of rifles even have a rifle with a 1:7 twist?
He told me he bought it new from Carters Country if this helps.
