S&W M&P10 .308 - SHOT news?

[gergregg]

Well another disappointment with this build. The DD lite rail installs but the top rail of the hand guard does not match up to the upper. I had planned to use the 45 degree offset backup irons but that will not work at this point.

Also be prepared to cut the crush washer behind the muzzle device when swapping gas blocks. That was the only way it was coming off.

Bizzare. It seems Smith just did their own thing entirely.

you might want to call DD and ask, or maybe S&W. It seems that its soo close there might just be a defect. I would think that if S&W did something to make theirs proprietary, there would be an obvious difference. just a thought.

Certainly does. The DD instruction sheet said the upper should have been .060" inches taller if it was a newer DPMS or Bushy. The upper is considerably shorter.

I got my Troy TRX-308 13.8" installed friday. The rail is the DPMS low reciever model, the top rails align perfectly. The rail comes with a new barrel nut that takes a standard armorers wrench. I did have to shave a little material off of the nut to alow the gas tube to go unobstructed. I used a VLTOR clamp on GB.

Nice lookin' stick. Where did you order the Troy HG?
I had also read that the upper is a DPMS style low profile receiver.

That is shit hot. Light rail takes advantage of the light barrel. Add a baby acog or T1 for the total package.

That blows cause that's a nice looking set up. Are you gonna return it or run it?

Cool, thanks. I saw that one on their site and was wondering if it was the same model.

Not sure yet... I'll order a Troy in the meantime and make a decision after it gets here.
