New S&W M&P15 MOE Mid MAGPUL SPEC SERIES

[C4IGrant]

Besides the name and reputation what does this rifle not have that the BCM MID 16 LW has?

Nothing really. The main difference is the barrel. It has a 1/8 twist, 5R and melonited.

[CQC.45]

Correct. The SPORT now comes with a 1/9 twist.

The 5R barrels are reserved for the MOE, VTAC and T models.

Grant,

Can you confirm if the VTAC and T models are also mid-length gas systems?

S&W'S website states the VTAC II is mid length....

Is anyone running an h buffer in these? Is an h buffer needed in a 16" mid length gun?

Yes and you might even want to go with an H2 with these.

Yes and you might even want to go with an H2 with these.

Could you explain why? Thanks.

[C4IGrant]

Could you explain why? Thanks.

Most companies run an H buffer with their middy (BCM, DD, etc). Knowing that the S&W is slightly over gassed, I would run an H (for sure) and give an H2 a try.

Grant,

What are the chances the ambi controls of the M&P10 will migrate to the M&P15? Tell S&W if they do this, they will sell one immediately

Are these still GTG? The SL FDE one is on sale for $600.

For that price, I think it is alot of rifle for the money. I would definitely buy if you want to stay in the price range.
