My M&P 15 OR with mods
So I bought an M&P 15 OR (thank you cyphertext) over 5 years ago. The price was insane compared to today. I guess I should have waited because I’m just now getting it out of my gun safe. I love my deer bolt rifles. I’ve never been a huge fan of ARs... UNTIL NOW! I totally understand now why I’ve always heard them called “a grown man’s legos”.
Anyway, I thought I’d take some pics as I add my mods. I would love any advice or comments. As soon as the weather breaks I’ll actually get to shoot it. Sounds crazy but that’s where I am at this point.

Here are most of my mods. You can’t see all of them. And I’m still waiting on a couple items.

Not trying to bust your chops, but you don't have an OR Sport... they weren't produced 5 years ago. You have a M&P 15 OR. The barrel profile gives it away. Your barrel is a 1:9 twist, chrome lined barrel, which is different than what comes on the Sport. That was a higher priced rifle than the Sport.

No, not busting my chops at all. Thanks. That’s how long ago I bought it. Not too long ago I got it out, looked at the Smith website and selected what I thought I bought. I changed the title.
So do you know all the differences between mine and the Sport? Is the chrome lined barrel that I have better than the Sport? I read somewhere that the Sport 2 added a dust cover and forward assist vs the Sport. So I figured mine was the Sport 2.

The biggest differences between your rifle and the Sport OR that is produced today is the barrel. Your barrel has the same profile that an M4 barrel has (has the the notch for the grenade launcher). It also is chrome lined vs the Armornite treatment that is on the Sport today. I believe they are both made from the same type of metal, 4140, and both have a 1:9 twist.
Your rifle has a trigger guard that can be opened up for shooting with gloves, or changed out completely. The Sport has an integral, oversized trigger guard.
Another difference is that your hand guards have aluminum heat shields in them, and the ones on the Sport do not.
And finally, your rifle has a cast, military type trigger where the Sports have MIM triggers.
Your M&P 15 OR is the better rifle on paper. It may not be the better value, but it is a higher quality than the Sport series.

Looks good so far. I guess you really wanted the QD sling point on that endplate?
If you like the BAD lever, do a little research on the Phase 5 Tactical bolt catch before you install the BAD. The Phase 5 is far superior in every aspect. I have a BAD on my Sport and a Phase 5 on the rest of my rifles. The Phase 5 is really the way to go.
And what's your plans for optics/sights and the handguard?

Thanks man I appreciate that. Ha! Yeah, I did want a QD attachment on the end plate pretty bad. It’s really nice, I gotta tell you. To me, it’s the perfect spot for single point sling usage. Of course that’s a personal preference.
I already bought the BAD lever, so I’ll probably use it on this rifle. However, I have done some past research, and lots of people agree with you. I will definitely check out the Phase 5 even further. Thank you.
Optic, back up sights and handguard are coming soon!

Not to throw a monkey wrench in your gear but this is all I would do:
Comfortable short stock
Ergonomic pistol grip
Red dot
Sling.
Done.

^^^ Good idea. If it should come loose over time you can buy bags of door wedges (or cut your own) and cut a piece to jam under the lower area to refresh the tightness.

Oh, no monkey wrench. You actually make a great point. My goal all along was to have one, simple AR, go shoot it, see how I like it and then go from there. Maybe then buy a top dollar AR or build one. Instead, I started researching and looking at all this stuff, and Iooking and buying and looking and buying! Ha! Now I’m making all these mods thinking... dang, I could’ve just built one and had my plain jane AR already. I can’t help it though, this AR stuff has gotten a hold of me and won’t let go. Maybe I’ll buy a plain jane AR next?!

Sure could. Didn’t think about that. Thanks.
As for the clamp, I’m trying to avoid that if possible. But we’ll see how long my little contraption works.

My M&P 15 OR with mods
I installed 2 mods today - Timney trigger and Hogue grip. The trigger is a Competition, single stage, 3 pound. The grip is an overmolded, beavertail, finger grooved. They are both really nice!
Here’s what it looked like before:

My M&P 15 OR with mods
Today I installed my handguard. I chose the Midwest Industries M-Series M-Lok Two Piece Drop-In Carbine Length. It came with a short polymer Magpul M-Lok rail. Not sure if I’ll use that. I really like my handguard a lot! It locked up extremely tight. I chose the drop in simply because I’m new to ARs and didn’t want to fool with changing out the gas block for this rifle.
Here’s what it looked like before.
My stock clam shell handguard does have heat shields.
And here’s after the install.

Hello ARVUL. Nice story on your mods.
Just purchased a M&P 15-2 OR myself. Well into the bolt-on LEGO fun of modifying it, before I finally get time to take it out and shoot it.
So far, I also have the Hogue grip, added a Magpul front (also has metal heat guards), plus a couple of MOE picitinny rails in the slots, one for a bipod,
one for a Streamlight laser on the left side, just within thumb reach, and added Tacticon flip-up iron sights, and a bunch of Magpul 30 and 20 round mags.
Got a Holosun red dot ordered. Probably will add a Magpul slanted grip behind the bipod. Bore-sighted it for the sights and Streamlight in a 50-foot hallway in my building.
Good to go until I get to the range.

BCM Gunfighter Mod 4b.
I installed my new charging handle today. It’s really slick! Seems stronger than the original. It may be a little smoother pull too. I definitely have a more positive grip on it versus the original. Two thumbs up.

Tonight I installed a new trigger guard - Magpul Enhanced Aluminum Trigger Guard. It’s thicker from top to bottom and wider from side to side. It doesn’t move at all, very solid.
Before:
You can really see the difference here:
I, reluctantly, cut the small tab off my Hogue grip. It may have fit, had I forced it, but one of the main points of the new trigger guard is to close the gap between a mil spec trigger guard and mil spec grip.

Nice! Question. Why not a set of co-witness sights? On my M&P15, I see no problem looking through my red dot with them.

Thanks! Yeah I’m really liking this AR.
The main reason is I didn’t want to see anything but my red dot while aiming with it. I just don’t like it I guess. Everything about the offsets are just cool to me - the look and function. And that’s also the main reason I bought an OR. However, I’ve never experienced cowitnessing irons in person so I may change my mind one day.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I’m so glad it’s helped you! I’m no expert though that’s for sure. Really a novice when it comes to ARs. I have done a lot of studying, but experience counts for more. I have a lot of catching up to do to get some real AR experience. And my iPhone does all the photography work ha!
