Just got these in and snapped a few pics for folks to see.

Couple comments:

1. Don't ask me to e-mail/PM you a price for them.
2. No I will not take the MBUS/HG off the gun and sell it.
3. No I don't know when I will get more of them in stock.
4. No I don't have the Magpul MBUS or HG in stock.
5. No I don't know when I will get the MBUS or HG in stock.
6. Don't ask me if I am going to sell these or keep them.

So you're keeping these for yourself or are they for sale?

Mmmmmmm.....I'd like to have that black and tan.

But I guess I could just get the Magpul furniture kit and put it on my T model and have the same thing. :cool:

You cannot put the Magpul HG's on the 15T.

They will be sold at some point, but not right now.

I just wanted to show people that S&W had started to ship them & that we should start to see the Magpul MBUS & HG's start to ship.

Sorry I couldn't resist. I was being a smart ass. :D

I love the grip, stock, and hand guards. I have no idea why people are so excited for a plastic rear sight.:confused:

S&W made a wise decision to use the MOE line on a rifle. I like to see Mfg's listening and taking notice on what the consumer wants.

Hey Grant,
Are the barrels on these rifles 1 in 9 or 1 in 7 twist ?

Yes. S&W adding the Magpul MOE items to their AR is simply a fantastic idea IMHO.

They should have included the Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard, but it's an easy fix..

They look nice! I'm getting antsy to check out the MBUS.

Yes, I realize this Grant. I guess I should have put "close" to the same thing. I was referring to the "look" of black and tan not the actual specific parts. ;)

Why would you want to change out the better handguard?:confused:

Good grief people :D.....I wasn't referring to the handguard. Of course I wouldn't remove a Troy midlength rail for plastimatics. Like I said in my last post....I was referring to the black and tan "look" not the exact parts. Pretty much the standard furniture kit from Larue...the Magpul stock, Miad and rail covers.

Damn Grant you must have some serious pull over at Smith. I was talking to a buddy who works there and he put me into contact with a sales guy and supposedl they proposed begining build date was in March with over 3K on back order. I inquired b/c I have one preorder with you.

A question for you in regard to that rifle. I live in a ban state (for now) and it doesnt look like I am going to be able to get my letter from the chief for one of these rifles. Would you be able to make it ban compliant as long as I paid for the work and parts?

This is great news. I called them a few weeks ago to ask when we would see them and whoever I talked to said he didn't even see them on the production schedule so it would be at least 6 months! I guess he was wrong...

Thanks for posting the pictures of the rifle C4.

It answered something for me with regards to rear sights, i.e. what I want to go with in the future. Troy for those who are curious.

I guess I'm missing something here as well and I'm having a hard time getting excited about the MBUS. Perhaps the comparison between plastic mags and rear sights is too subtle for me.

I do like the direction S&W is going with their M&P 15 series, however.

We know some people at S&W, but wouldn't say that we have any pull. ;)

We might be able to make one ban compliant (depends).

I think we will start to see these in larger QTY by the end of March.

Don't hold me to this, but I believe that MSRP (set by S&W) is $1406.

Very cool, I actually finished this last week, before I knew of what S&W was doing.

http://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll415/jchtrh/DSC01593.jpg

It has almost all the same things as the S&W, but I used YHM GB, BUIS and a Vortec Strike Fire.

I think once Magpul starts selling MOE handguards in FDE I'll put a set on my carbine...should be lighter and cleaner than my MI quad rail covered in XTM panels:p

Does S&W actually manufacture the weapon or do they assemble other manufacturers parts? I have heard rumors about who actually makes the gun but that rumor has changed several times. Anyone know???

TC makes a lot of components for them so I would say that about 30% of the weapon is made in house. This is far more than a lot of companies.

They assemble the weapons in house (drill the FSB, etc).
