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

[C4IGrant]

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.

Not fluted. Pencil.

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

I wonder what the left side of the lower looks like.

It says Magpul.

I was unaware that the mid length gas system made the rifle inherently more accurate.

I learn something new every day.

No kidding
Why can't we all just be honest about these things?
Seems to reduce recoil and wear, but we won't know for sure for some time and after some extensive testing that I don't foresee anyone paying for.

You had me at "Magpul".

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?

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?

Deleted. Link fixed.

Thats a damn nice looking gun. And s&w is also saying its a 4150 cmv vs 4140 in the previous years. Hopefully they have a model on display at SHOT so I can fondle it tomorrow while im there.
