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

[VaeVictis]

What does sight radius do for accuracy?

Essentially the farther away the front sight post is from the rear sight the more precise you are able to align the two, thus allowing you more accuracy. It doesn't make the "rifle" more accurate per say but it does allow the shooter to make more accurate shots. This is a moot point however, if the shooter is not using iron sights.

It was rhetorical... But it does nothing for accuracy, at all.

Who here still buys complete rifles?

I'd buy the Rainier RUC in a heartbeat.

Castle nut and gas key staking? Feed ramps? HP/MP testing?

Would like to know this as well.

Interesting. The reciever looks very "Larue-ish". I hope it sells well. I may be tempted to sell off my regular flavor M&P 15 (for a loss no doubt) with its 1:9 barrel and pick one of these up. Magpul will enhance S&W in the AR market by a significant factor IMO.

This rifle looks sweet and a pretty good deal considering what you are getting. As far as Castle nut and gas key staking? Feed ramps? HP/MP testing? I purchased a S&W M&P 15T and that was all done correctly, the bolt was marked MP and that was last year so I would imagine they wouldn't skimp on that. Seems like they are finally taking notice to what needs to be done properly.

While they seem to have their shortcomings, I believe that S&W has been providing proper staking and MPI/HPT BCGs for quite some time now. I know quite a few people with newer M&Ps, and aside from the 1/9 4140 barrels they seem to pass muster. I really want to see some testing on their 5R 1/8 barrels.

I'd pay extra for a "China Doll" version...
