The evolution of my M&P-10

The lower rifle, with the exception of the Aimpoint Micro, is how my Big Smith came from the factory


It only took a couple of shots to realize the M4 style stock wasn't gonna cut it. The Magpul furniture was robbed off an AR carbine



The Big Smith shot very well with the Aimpoint, but I bought it for a scope. Besides, I needed the Aimpoint back on my HD carbine. First, I mounted a 10x Leupold


Then a 2.5-10x Nightforce came my way


This weekend, I removed that ugly chunk of metal S&W calls a flash hider and installed a BABC. No photos yet and haven't had a chance to shoot it. But the rifle looks and feels better. The S&W hider weighs a full quarter pound and has 4.5 inch/lbs of moment when hung off an 18 barrel. I'm glad it's finally gone!

Future plans include a lower profile for the gas block and either a Lancer or Troy carbon fiber free float handguard
