The VTAC is the top-of-the-line model IIRC.
Didn't it have a 4140 1x7 chrome lined 5.56 barrel? Don't know about the BCG set-up.
Looks like a real nice working rifle.

That's correct. Short stroking could be caused by quite a few things. Improper Mag height. A non standard mag could be too tall and make contact with the bolt carrier to slow it down. Gas leaks from a loose gas tube in the gas block, gas block leaking and gas/bolt rings, loose gas key, are others things that may cause a short stroke. The common issue is that they are all robbing gas from the system and slowing the carrier speed.
It can if you use a buffer that's too heavy. Carbine length rifles run better with an H buffer. Many companies send them out with a carbine buffer to save money. A mid-length runs just fine with a carbine buffer. Just shoot yours until you start having problems, then toss in a H buffer.I would think that a heavier buffer would just exacerbate such a problem

With this low round count there should not be any real wear on the barrel.
Review from when I first received my VTAC Rifle
S&W VTAC Rifle used in this carbine class
I have also used my VTAC RIfle in a Pat Rogers class.
So far so good with the S&W version of the VTAC rifle. I have yet to have a malfunction that was actually related to the weapon. I have only seen one on a shelf and that was in a local LE supply store.
Time will only tell as I get more rounds down range with this rifle.
Now that you have a good amount of rounds through the gun, as well as a couple classes, what are your thoughts on the rail? Do you still like it? I have always been intrigued by the VTAC rail as it seems to fit my needs perfectly. I don't need tons of rails space, all I run is a light and a fold down front sight.
Whats the weight on the V Tac?
If only S&W make it in a mid-length. Noveske's VTAC is a middy, but are not in stock.

I still prefer the VTAC Modular Handguard System over other rail handguard systems because you can place your rail sections where you want them instead of having to deal with a handguard system that is covered in rail. Viking Tactics has a new style rail system that is being made by Troy. I was in VTAC Corp. HQ's last week and hand my hands on one. I like the new rail system over the older due to its ease of installation and removal for weapon maintenance. Also a nice feature of the new rail is that it has a smaller profile than the older system. I will actually get to spend some time on the range with the new rail system next weekend so I will have a better opinion of it by the conclusion of the Street Fighter Class.

Any updates on when the 2010 M&P 15 VTAC will be available?
