Anyone know of good deals on .40 and .223 right now? Got a big camping/shooting trip coming up in a month and I need to stock up.

M&Ps are good and the prices are usually reasonable.

Will it take AR accessories? As customizable as an AR?

the M&P-15 is an AR so yes all compatible. If you're talking about the M&P-15-22 then some parts are compatible some are not and you'll need to check some forums specific to that model.

I have a S&W M&P15 and I love it. I got it a couple of years ago and haven't had any malfunctions or issues with it. I've got it sighted in for 100 yards since that's as far back as we qualify at work. I have the MOE edition with the Magpul Handguards, Magpul BUS, and it had the Magpul pistol grip, but I put a Hogue grip on it along with the Magpul MS-2 Sling. For the price, you can't beat it.

That's what I was thinking...I could get a complete rifle for less than I'd piece together an upper/lower AR setup...but would I be getting as good of components? So it will take AR hand guards, stocks, sights, mags, etc? Definitely not getting the 15-22.

Any AR-15 components are a-ok on the M&P15. On top of that the M&P is one of the better ARs available IMO. So yeah, jump on that puppy.
