S&W M&P15 Tactical Hand guard

[sigmeister229]

Help I need some advise. I purchased a S&W M&P15 not knowing the first thing about AR’s. my gun dealer said it was on of his best and it has a lifetime warranty, well he lied about the warranty it’s only a one year warranty, It’s plain but it was all I could afford. I would love to replace the 7” Hand guards with a longer type that exceeds past the Front sight and still keep the iron sight attached .but I don’t know what complications I could be getting into with the gas tube, so maybe I should keep it simple and just get a 2 piece tactical hand guards that fits in place of the plastic guard and still the original holders. I was looking at one made by Midwest Industries MI#17 Carbine 2 Piece or YHM 2 Piece Tactical Hand guard. Or should I wait until I can afford something a little nicer?

For what you're wanting I'd recommend an extended Troy rail like this one.

So it sounds like the Troy 12" MRF-CX Extended Model would fit perfect on my M&P15 should I have a gun smith put it on?
Where should I go for the best prices?

I was under the impression that ALL S&W guns came with lifetime service warranty. No?

I asked S&W when I called on another question ,they said pistols have a lifetime warranty but rifles are one year, that stinks. That was one of the main reasons I went with S&W. sells people will say anything for a sell

Unfortunately true. one year as the Part i cut and pasted from the online M&P Manual says

Smith &Wesson firearms are warrantied to be free from defects
in material and workmanship. Any such defects of which
Smith & Wesson receives written notice within one year from the
date of purchase by the original owner, will be remedied by
Smith&Wesson without charge within a reasonable time after
such notification and delivery of the firearm as provided below.

The Troy is easy to put on. I just put my S&W M&P T back together today. The Troy clamps around the barrel nut with four bolts. The only tool you need to put one on is a allen wrench. Now getting the hardware off that holds the plastic handguard is a little more difficult.

Thats A Cool Design i might go with something like that as i don't want to have to remove the barrel nor gas tube to fit

This kind of makes me want to take my M&P 15 back to the store. The whole lifetime warranty was one of the reasons I was willing to pay a bit more for. The Sigma for $99 wasn't too bad of a deal either, but still, I'm kind of annoyed that my gun store would misinform me like that.

Don't sweat the warranty.

Plan for obfuscation and deceit to be found when people have a financial stake in what you seek. Do your research ahead of time, so that you can differentiate them from those worth giving your money to.
