Posted this in a thread about .308 suggestions... Figured I would repost here as well. I've had my S&W M&P10 for about 2 years now. At first, I was really disappointed in its performance. It seemed to have real problems cycling low pressure ammo and just had lots of teething issues in general. I decided to have a buddy of mine who is a qualified gunsmith tear it down and put it back together for me to see if he could figure anything out. When I did this, I changed the gas block and put a Troy quad rail on it and I also decided to hydrodip the rifle in that multicam tiger stripe (not really my favorite, but it works well here in FL). After it was torn down and reassembled, I haven't had any problems with it. Shoots low pressure and high pressure loads, both suppressed and unsuppressed without any issues. I didn't ask him what he did, but I guess he tweaked a couple things and now it just runs. I also decided to go with a fixed A2 stock. To do this, I had to call S&W to send me a spacer for the buffer tube because the M&P10 buffer and buffer spring are proprietary.
Optics are a Leupold VxR 3-9, Aimpoint T1 on a KAC offset mount, and KAC offset irons. It's also got a Geissele 2 stage trigger in it and the bipod is an Atlas on a LaRue mount. I don't plan on changing anything else with this rifle. I'm pretty satisfied with it in its current form. I'm waiting to see what DD comes out with next. I don't have a huge need for more than one .308 AR because its primary purpose is hunting and maybe an occasional scoped rifle class. The DD .308 would primarily be for fun shooting and I would keep it simple. But anyway, here's my M&P10:
Thanks for looking!
Factory AP 308 16" SS upper; I bought the lower stripped and built it up myself using a VLTOR A5 receiver extension, H3 buffer and rifle spring, also has a Geissele SSA in it.
Absolutely no issues so far through over 500 rounds, with the BROWE optic I am getting respectable groups (1.5-2" 5 rounds) with standard M80 ball. Still waiting on my AAC muzzle device to show and then I get one of my cans on this.
My first post, figured I'd do it right.
This is an Aero Precision 308 16" Battle Rifle build. Haven't shot it yet due to life events and work, but it's pretty neat to hold. Weighs in at 8.5 lbs.
