Need for adjustable gas Block I don't fully understand what's going on. S&W must have been varying the gas port sizes???? Some folks are getting a big ten that comes from the factory overgased. Others are getting a factory gun that seems to be undergased???? What gives? The previous poster...

Reply to Mistwolf Mistwolf, First off, since you requested it, I'd love to be able to post a pic for you of my M&P10 on my scale. However, unfortunately I'm not at home in the U.S. at the moment, and the unreasonable folks here in this country wouldn't allow me to bring my baby with me...

Heavyweights???? Can anyone explain why it seems everyone is taking one of the lightest 308 AR's available and turning them into 12.5 - 14 lb heavyweights. I purchased my M&P10 as a hunting tool, & I value the fact it has significantly lighter weight than most 308 ARs. Yeah, I took off the...

I'm afraid I just don't understand this. Maybe I'm just old or somethin'. However, for the life of me, I can't figure out why anyone would spend between $1100 & $1600 on a brand spankin' new rifle and immediately begin looking to put a new barrel on it. Personally, if I thought I'd have to do...

Exactly why are you buying a new buffer before you have even received or fired your new rifle? Are you confident that you're gonna need to replace the factory buffer? Even if you're gonna switch out the buttstock, the factory buffer/spring/tube will all work with your new stock. At most, you...

Webfarmer, Did the OAL adjustment truly solve your FTE issue? Please keep us informed.

I'd venture a guess that your issue has to do with the alignment of your new gas block. How did you verify proper alignment when you replaced the factory block with the new one?

Just a quick not of caution: Like the rest of you, I think shootin' steel is fun & a kick so see/hear. However, Every time I'm on the range and someone down the line sets-out a 50yrd steel target and begins to shoot it with his centerfire rifle, I think of the video of the guy shootin' his...

Hey wildfowl, why don't you just purchase a MA compliant model and then do the mods yourself? It's not rocket science and you'll gain a lot of satisfaction by doing the deed yourself. There are a lot of guys out there who have used the M&P10 foundation to build themselves a sub MOA 308 with...

I agree with the previous poster, it's almost a lead-pipe cinch that this issue isn't a stuck cartridge. For this issue to exist with a 7.62x39 in a 7.62x51 chamber, the problem is almost certainly with how the extractor has jammed against the misfit case. Secondly, for those of you who think...

In the Ancient Past, I would have agreed with you about 22LR being one of the best calibers to have available in a do-or-die situation. However, considering the last time I saw a box of 22lr ammo on the shelf, I now think I'm gonna' leave home without my trusty Ruger 10/22 in hand. In today's...

Finally, someone comes by with a little common sense & a bit of mechanical aptitude! Gee, I wonder what those little plastic nubs were put in there for, and just exactly how do they work? Guys, this stuff isn't rocket science. S&W went to the trouble of installing those little nubs in the...

DesertFox, I totally agree with you! The M&P10 furniture is so cheap, and the gasblocks are soooo ugly. And, what in heck is that ungodly flashider thingy stuck out there on the end of the barrel? Since you don't like yours so much, I'll feel real sorry for you, and take it off your hands for...

Jayferguson, Were you running your M&P10 with a rifle length buffer tube without the "spacer"? If so, check out the dimensions of your S&W buffer tube extension, the S&W factory buffer, and the S&W buffer spring. If I'm not mistaken, they are basically using an "Armalite type" 308 buffer...

Waddy, Don't know exactly what part of CO you're living in, but down hear on the "Front Range" we still have lots of dealers selling repair kits for your existing 20 round magazines. (Cop friends and lawyers tell me It's entirely legal.) If your in NW Colo. and ever get down here, you can...

Glad to hear you found it to be only an ammo issue! I can't believe how many times I've read about other guys paying $1500 for a rifle then complaining when it won't function well or shoot sub MOA with cheap steel cased bi-metal FMJ Hungarian ammo. I say, man, would you feed your best Labrador...

In my very humble opinion: If you're an exceptionally good shot, you plan on shooting competition, and/or your primary usage will be shooting further than 250 yards and you load your own custom ammunition, then you would probably see benefit from the free float forend. If your needs, or...

Daddy2Twins, I see that you've already got a shotgun which you can use for inside the house home defense. If you're in the market for a 308 caliber semi-auto for general shooting fun or hunting; I agree that the M&P10 is probably the best bang for the buck out there at the moment. If you have...

MistWolf, You totally missed my point!!! Light Weight is EXACTLY why I bought the 811310. Out of the box its weight is exactly the same as the light weight Pencil barrel models; 7.71 lbs. Don't believe me? Check the specifications from S&W. The amount of metal removed from the barrel in...

I have the 811310 & I love it. The barrel profile ahead of the gas block is exactly the same as the other models. The only difference in barrel profile is downstream of the gas block. The 310 appears very close to a standard "Hbar" barrel diameter downstream of the gas block vs the "Pencil"...
