    [QUOTE=saddlerocker; Its interesting that they are going with the 1:8" twist 5R Melonited barrel like the M&P Sport[/QUOTE]

    The 1:8 twist 5R barrel accuracy is one of the things that makes the Sport so popular. The low street price was a big draw also! I think it really took S&W by surprise. They couldn't begin to keep up with demand for the Sport. And I think it's one of the reasons they're putting it on other rifles. But what do I know!!

    Here's a target I shot using Fed M193 55gr ammo. I'm not the best shot at 64 but when I do my part the Sport is very accurate with factory ammo. I does this well with PMC 223 55gr ammo also. These are all 3 shot groups and not hard to pick out. The bullseye group measures .65 edge to edge. The red bullseye is 1.5" in diameter.

    A 45 may not expand but it will never be smaller than .45!!

    NOT your run-of-the-mill M&P15...

    A lot of hit-and-run commentators on this thread making gross generalizations about S&W M&P15. Lately, S&W is heading in the right direction with the VTAC and Magpul branded M&P15's.

    This isn't just another M&P15 "Sport" or "ORC" which S&W simply threw a bunch of Magpul swag on...

    4150 CMV Melonite barrel
    1/8" 5R Rifling
    Midlength gas system
    Magpul branded forged lower
    Integral trigger guard
    Flared and beveled mag well
    Magpul MBUS, MOE furniture, PMAG, Art of the Tactical Carbine Vol. I and II (8 DVD set)

    Not bad for under $1100 (street price before 12/14/12). No, it's not a billet Magpul lower.

    Thanks for the pics 8200!

    O-ring, plastic plunger, and MP mark:


    Flashhider, it's closed on the bottom and quite long:



    Semi-auto BCG:


    BCG staking, can see the MP on the bolt better in this picture:


    BCG chrome lining:


    Barrel markings:


    F-marked FSB:


    M4 feedramps:



    Note the battlecomp is not original, nor is the MOE scout light.

    I paid about $1000 for mine including shipping, FFL fee, but not including the S&W mil rebate of $100. If I sell the 2 magpul art of the carbine dvds, I might "save" another $50 off the total price.

    If these or the pictures from 8200rpm aren't enough, let me know what you want to see. I have upgraded a bunch of parts not shown though. Namely, trigger safety, ambi mag release, stock, rear sight. And added a moe scout mount with tlr 1 and I'm back and forth on what optic to use. Probably a ta33.

    Did you get a chance to check this yet? Any issues with the staking or bolt on the ones you have looked yet?

    Thanks.

    Any update on your rifle? I should be able to shoot mine next week so excited to see just what it can do.

    I assume that this lower is compatible with the new Pmags. Can someone confirm that? And is it compatible with the SureFire magazines?

    Thanks!

    Dang... Sure hope so! I should have mine in hand shortly. All I have are Lancer L5 AWM mags to check. Assuming the included P-Mag will be Gen2...
