Just got my MOE in FDE, and the mag is FDE also!

To paint the mags do you just take it apart, tape off top, bottom, and slide for the assist buttons then spray away??

Krylon has every option you can think of. Some paints are specially formulated for polymer.
 
Sorry to revive an old thread, but for anyone still waiting on these, it looks like they are actually shipping some.

2/10/2011 - Ordered
6/1/2011 - Called about status, they said they have no idea when they will ship
10/28/2011 - Yay! Finally here!

Would be cool to get those in 10 round shorties too! That was quite a wait you had, there.
 
Wow, I LIKE IT... that is what I plan on doing with mine when I can pick it up on Nov. 9th. Mine came in last friday, I went up to check it out, and it only had a one black 25 magazine. I even ordered the M&P with a flash hider since I have a Jerry Miculek compensator for it as well. I ordered two 10/25 S&W mags from S&W but they only show black as well, since I live in the great state of "Commifornia" I need to support the local laws being a good worker you know.... Good job.. keep us informed.

I think if I wanted these FDE ones, I'd just take it to a local guy to get duracoated or do it myself since I don't know where there would be any in CA hehe.
 
I'd buy some 10 rd shorties in FDE. Heck I'd take some 10 rd long mags in FDE. Why buy and then spray, if you can simply buy. FDE only available in 25 rd capacity though. Sticking to black for now.

That's why haha.
 
Yup, only if we were allowed more than 10 rounds (less reloading means more shooting and more fun); color is simply eye candy.

By "we" I mean CA residents and others who are protected from those nasty high cap magazines.
 
Hi All,

All the pictures I have seen of the FDE version had a black magazine in them. Today I finally got my rifle (I want to go to the range, like, right now! :eek:) and the magazine is Dark Earth, not black! Has anyone else received a new FDE version lately? Did yours come with a black or FDE magazine (25 round)?

Does anyone know if additional magazines are available anywhere in FDE yet? I don't see them on the S&W accessory site so I'm assuming they're new and probably aren't available except on the rifle itself.

Just got mine 2 days ago and it came with the magazine in FDE as well
 
Just to let you guys know. I get all my M&P mags from G&R tactical. They are good to go. Really good customer service and pricing.

The FDE 15-22 mags are $16.00

S&W M&P 15-22 25rd Magazine at G&R Tactical
They have a good price on the MOE rifle. CA is so expensive haha, I've never seen it under $500. I got lucky and snagged it at $500 before dros & tax. Regular version is under $500 but I bet out of state, it's even cheaper still.
 
Here in FL, Regular version is $389 and MOE in either color is $479

That's madness hahah. On sale for $440 at a local shop here. $535 for black M.O.E.
 
Very nice, I just installed the quick release swivel in the rear receiver on my M&P. I just drilled 1/2" holes (were the MOE version has them) and epoxied the cups that hold the swivels. I ordered the MagPul FDE stock and MOE FDE grip. I've install Magpul front and rear MBUS in black since i didn't like the FDE color on backup sights (black works when you are trying to find the front sights, the FDE light color makes me loose focus on the sights). Very cool the mags come in FDE as well. Have you seen the MAGs on sales in that color yet?? I haven't.. Nice rifle...
 
MOE Mags FDE

Just got my FDE MOE model the other day, with the FDE mag plus 4 Picatinny rail covers, for $608 otd. I thought it was a decent price for this rifle. They are hard to find around here in the MOE FDE configuration. They also sold me two black hicap mags for $15/each...bonus! Gotta LOVE Colorado....already been to the range three or four times, it's close, and put around 500 rounds through it with no problems. I also have a NEBO flashlight/laser on it as well as a simmons 3-9x32 scope on it. It looks and shoots bad-***...Love this weapon...

Thanks for the tip on G&R Tactical. Just ordered some AR15-22 25 round mags in FDE to match the one that came with the rifle
 
G&R does have good pricing on the AR15-22 MOE in FDE. I got lucky and my local Police Supply house had a sale on so I ended up at about the same price as G&R if you count shipping and FFL fees.
