Seems smarter to worry about basic quality before a feature list.

They're good rifles, you did fine purchasing it.So I'm getting the impression my little Gen 1 M&P Sporty is a decent rifle. And do a few upgrades and call it good. Though I would still really like to get a higher end AR. I'm just familiar with BCM since several guys I know have them. So I've heard a lot about them. Not sure if I would get the Mod 0 model. Or the Recce model.
Very good, ignore the "If you didn't make it in your garage with overpriced parts it is inferior" Guy's.So I'm getting the impression my little Gen 1 M&P Sporty is a decent rifle.

OP has a slick-side receiver. Adding a dust cover, so far as I know, would take quite a bit of work.1- trigger (LaRue MBT or a good drop in)
2- a red dot sight
3- The dust cover (buy one that is already springloaded. itll be easier)
Don't go crazy. Learn more. Watch You tube videos to learn. Know someone who does, ask questions. Eventually you can learn to build your own. That's when you can buy better parts all around. Good luck
Tell that to the poor slobs I've seen leave armorer/build classes that were unable to complete their builds because their POS Anderson receiver was out of spec and had to be returned to the manufacturer. They're out the time, money and effort for a class. It was sad, you fell sorry for them, but damn spend more than $24.99 next time.
I have read about one or two, but how often does that really happen? I've built or helped build close to a dozen Anderson lowers and never seen one out of spec. They actually have pretty good fit and finish. I know that's a small sample but combined with "my cousin's neighbor's aerobics instructor had a bad one", and I'm skeptical.I have several Anderson's, among others. No issues with them, but I certainly won't defend them as being good.

I saw Aero has a screw on upper with the dust cover only. Are Aero products quality?

Isn't that a positive thing?I've had one that had a tight magwell.
I believe BCM has some blem uppers for sale.
$60I believe BCM has some blem uppers for sale.
The upper comes unassembled, but complete with BCM forward assist assembly and ejection port cover door assembly.
You must assemble it. (Assembly required) (all parts, but you will have to assemble together)
They usually do...I believe BCM has some blem uppers for sale.
Yeah, but I would just buy a complete upper assembly. Way easier.
A complete upper is also a chance to get a thicker barrel. The Sport, if I recall correctly, comes with a pencil barrel. Something to consider, although $60 for a BCM upper is practically free.Yeah, but I would just buy a complete upper assembly. Way easier.
Keep your old upper and it will eventually grow back into another rifle again.
If I was going with a complete BCM upper, would it be in my best interest to get a BCM bolt carrier group. Also, I'm new to all this, so I'm assuming an upgraded trigger makes a lot of difference in the shoot ability.A complete upper is also a chance to get a thicker barrel.

See what you did there.. lol setting him up for another AR. As we all know He was going to get another anyway. its the nature of the beast. buy 2 uppers and get a couple lowers. you will be fine!! never know when you might need to build a 300BOYeah, but I would just buy a complete upper assembly.
