Thanks! I'm a righty, but the momentary switch is on the back of the light, it is I'm perfect reach of my thumb where it's at.....haven't tried it on the other side yet, but I usually have my thumb wrapped around the top of the grip, so the light seems to be closer in that position.....any reason to change the mounting other than it's just weird?

I used to have the light like that, mostly cause i didnt like anything in the way of my thumb.  After playing with grip and different mounts I like it much better on the other side.  Granted I have MOE handguards instead of the quad rails.  You can see mine in the ar pics thread

Quick questions. ...

This was a m&p 15 sport right? 

-so give or take around $600...

 

Then plus all the mods, give or take another $600?

 

All together ball park $1200.

 

So my question is, why pick the sport then replace almost the whole upper? 

 

It looks cool but it seems like a whole lot of work for something like a very good complete upper(ex. Bcm,spikes) can replace for less money and time. PLUS the warranty. 

 

Not knocking on your AR but just curious. Why this route?

I was going to ask the same thing.. I only skimmed the list but it looked like it was just a lower/LPK-away from being a separate rifle.

 

I didn't see a new stock on the list, but you mentioned the extension tube.  I thought the Sport had a proprietary stock and extension that was difficult or impossible to separate?  (Now that I look at the picture it's not a stock stock either)

Good questions....I got the sport on Black Friday for 530 bucks...I knew I was going to tear into the thing as soon as I got it, but didn't know a lot about working on this platform as I've been wrenching on SKS rifles and surplus stuff. I wanted to strip it down take it apart and rebuild it the way I wanted it. Had a lot of fun doing it , learned a lot and was able to build a second AR for my wife out of the parts. left over.....just brought a stripped lower to build for her rifle....also built my friend an AR that came out great too.... Been able to keep the prices down by buying blem parts from Palmetto and other manufacturers when available.....the upper I bought for the SW sport was from Palmetto got it for 40 bucks because it was a blem...the blem is a tiny darker area below the ejection port, and it's even T marked......

The stock on the sport is removable, it's just the castle nut is staked and difficult to remove without a breaker bar on the armorers wrench....it is a non adjustable stock on a solid tube with no indents, so it isn't even pinned, it can't be moved no matter what, it only appears to be adjustable......It's basically a rifle length tube with a carbine buffer in it.

I don't mind the work I put into the gun....I really like working on it.
