S&W is doing things right. This and VTAC rifles.

Is the barrel fluted, or is it just the picture?
Its interesting that they are going with the 1:8" twist 5R Melonited barrel like the M&P Sport

Glad they have a mid-length, but not something id be interested in overall.

It is just the lighting on the barrel... it's not fluted.

I think there's alot to like as a package if you're just starting out.

If you take a look in the Custom Build subforum here, you'll see a lot of people (myself included*) completing builds in more-or-less this exact same configuration.

Apparently S&W is paying attention to not just what people say they want, but also what end result the user actually goes with. Good on them.

* The major differences between my setup and S&W's is mine has an A5 buffer/RE and DD 1.5 rear sight, basically a DI version of LWRC's M6-SL.

interesting, comes with Magpul Dynamics Carbine 1 and 2

Not fluted. Pencil.

This is a fantastic gun and the lower (with the flared magwell) is one of the best I have seen!

That's good to hear, raises my interest, especially in the lower.
Any idea if there is any plan to release them as other than a complete carbine?

Alright, maybe I'm behind the curve. What's a "Finger shelf"? Is the trigger guard wider at the rear?

[Magsz]

Are the lowers forgings?

That is pretty darned neat.

Also, the price point is pretty slick. Are we guessing around 1000 actual retail price when these hit the market?
