The base model has been out since right after the SHOT show. I had one in a month. I installed an STR butstock, a MIAD grip and a MOE hand guard, all in FDE, on mine right away. The Magpul stuff cost less less than $175, but then a I got a super LE deal on the basic rifle with a PMAG 20. I like the STR a lot better for the M&P 10 than the MOE.
There is nothing else on the market like the M&P 10. It weighs less by far than any other AR308. Nothing else at the price point has the ambidextrous lower. I do wish it has an ambidextrous charging handle. Also it is accurate.
They must be so busy making the base models that the Magpul models just have to wait until they get caught up.
