    I have one of these great rifles. It's my first AR-variant. I've been an AK guy for my entire rifle shooting life until I got this last year. It's at the smith right now being cut down and getting AAC Brake pinned.

    Its a great, soft-shooting rifle. I got a BAD Lever not knowing it wouldn't fit. Do you guys think I could just grind down a spot in the finger shelf for it to fit? Have a machine shop do it? Or is the idea a blasphemous no-no?

    I would just pass on the BAD lever.

    Having used a BAD lever for a time, it's definetely not worth grinding on a perfectly good lower just to have one.

    Follow Grant's advice. If you're an AK guy, the ergonomics of an AR is worlds above what you are already familiar with.

    Good judgment comes from experience. And experience… well, that comes from poor judgment.

    I've had my S&W MOE Mapul Spec ~ a month now. Been to the range with it a few times, got about 500 rounds through it, and have cleaned it twice. I've run 55gr Brown Bear, 55gr Tula Brass Max, and 62gr re-manufactured ammo through it. Ranging from 25-100yds with decent groups (at least for me shooting the Magpul sights).

    Its accurate, but I could use some sort of optic for it and the Fit and Finish (lower to upper) is superb (Better than my BCM build (slight gap on the BCM (visual defect only)) with no felt play.

    Not enough time for me to claim its the bees knees, but it is a nice package.

    I have a BCM Gunfighter Charging Handle headed my way and was able to get a SMI BCG to have as a spare. Per another thread on S&W M&P 15s I plan to upgrade to H2 Buffer and Blue spring to increase reliability at some point down the road.

    Upgrade one at a time, especially if you continue to use 55 gr steel cased .223. The magpul spec rifle has a mid length gas system and I suspect it's actually not over gassed, unlike their other rifles.

    Thanks I'll keep that in mind.

    I do want it to be able to run multiple types of ammo. No problems to date with the three types I have tried. My plan was just to buy the parts and have them on hand in case problems arose down the road.

    Grant I know you have been rather busy, but did S&W end up telling you the GP dimensions?
    Or perhaps you were able to measure one on the last batch that came through?

    Just curious if I should be looking at buffers.

    S&W MAGPULL Inbreeds

    So S&W are putting MP's name on the side and getting a break on MG's parts. BFD. Are you realy expecting New and Improved 6.0 version or do you just get excited about Tack weenie stuff comming out of a factory thats going too be changed out anyway Packing

    You're not going to last long here with that attitude and lack of information. Nice spelling, though.
