As any of you know that have either purchased or even simply just looked at the M&P10, it's not the most attractive rifle put out. After having mine for about 6 weeks, I believe I've finally rectified "what's wrong" ("what's wrong is simply my opinion & in no way should reflect upon how YOU view YOUR rifle)

the first thing I did is get rid of the stock that came with the rifle and put on a simple little Magpul MOE stock (mil-spec):

Another area that I felt could be greatly improved upon is the grip, so off with the grip and on with a Magpul MOE+ grip:

Have you really paid attention to the Flash Hider? No way that thing will grace my rifle; YHM 5C2:

I researched various rails & handguards, and after reading all the feedback on all the different ones, I decided to go with the Troy Battlerail trx-308 (13.8", DPMS pattern, LOW profile). It fits perfectly & there is no height difference beteen the upper & the rail:

On the bottom of the handguard, I used the included 4" rail & mounted a 2nd generation Magpul VFG:

When it came to optics, I chose to mount a Nikon Prostaff 4-12 X 40 BDC:


in a Burris P.E.P.R. mount:

Throw everything together & you'll have to admit that there's quite a difference in appearance..hopefully, there's an improvement with respect to accuracy, as well:

How was the rail installation? Easy or a pain? I am looking to replace the stock ones.

it wasn't that bad, really: the most surprising is the fact that unfired, from the factory, the barrel nut was extremely loose (not finger tight, but not far from it, either). the only thing that delayed me any significant amount was waiting for my 308 vice block as I didn't have one...other than that, I removed the existing nut, replaced the barrel nut & had it torqued (re-installing the 5C2 at the same time) within about 15 minutes
 
Looks really good. For the Troy rail what exactly did you need to change? Just change out the factory gas block for the low profile gas black? Did you need to change the barrel nut? If so which one did you use?

X2 did you change barrel nut?
