Yeah it has the blue springs....that was the first thing I checked last night.
I have been researching this forum and pricing and is it really worth the extra money for the MOE stock compared to the Talo?
I haven't seen a Talo pricing, but I just bought all the same Magpul gear for my AR-15 and getting the Magpul edition over the regular one is a no brainer, well worth it.
Here is the pricing for some of the MOE stuff:
stock $60
grip $20
front and rear MBUS $80
Not sure if the Talo has the threaded barrel.
There was a $60 difference from the regular M&P15-22 and the Magpul MOE edition at the local shop.
I have seen a 90 dollar difference between the MOE and the six position adjustable stock. Both rifles have the threaded barrel and adjustable sights too. I am pretty sure I can live without the magpul stock and can always pick it up later.
The MOE stock really is a lot nicer than the OEM stock. There's no wiggle with the MOE and it feels a lot better. Even with a $90 difference, you're still saving about $100. over purchasing seperately. It's like getting the stock, grip and sling swivel free (unless the vesion you are talking about has the folding sights, then you're only saving a little.)
I shopped around for my brother when he was looking for the MOE edition and ended up finding a local gun store that ordered him one for $523. They had the TALOS for $510. He was out the door for about $565. If shops are charging $90 more than the TALOS, they are gouging and should be avoided.

Ya I got my MOE about a month and a half ago for $451 out the door, but that is the absolute cheapest I have found it anywhere!
That's a great price. I paid $489.00 plus tax for my Talo edition. Just to be clear it did come with MBUS and threaded barrel. The difference between the Talo and the MOE is more than the the stock and grip which can be added later. The one thing you can't add later is the integrated sling swivels. If you like running a single point the sling mounts are well worth it. I got my Talo just before I learned of the MOE, I would have waited otherwise.
You CAN add the sling swivels later. I did Sunday morning. Uncle Mike's 1011-2, a 1/2" drill bit, a little JB weld and about 20 minutes will get it done. Here's my thread: http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-wesson-m-p-15-22/140262-adding-qd-sling-swivels-my-1st-gen.html

just wondering... is that a Magpul AFG and which red dot and magnifier is on yours?
Magpul MBUS Talo Exclusive just won't go away
Here it is; 2013, and the Talo Exclusive S&W M&P 15-22 is still being offered at a higher price than the actual Magpul MOE Edition.
The S&W SKU 150781 Talo has a $29.00 higher retail price, and is a $100.00 cheaper build.
Modern Mathematics - Ain't it great?
S&W is unable to give approximate numbers that have been made to Talo's Exclusive requirements, but they have been keeping the value up by pumping them out for at least 3 years now. My serial number indicates it was made in April 2013.
The new Exclusive...
I heard a rumor that they have a whole class of 6 year olds with screwdrivers making Talos by installing the BUS Sights.
The whole Talo experience is missing from the serial number, box, literature and rifle. Disappeared with out a trace.
It doesn't have the single point sling attachment points, doesn't have the MOE CTR Stock, doesn't have the MOE Pistol grip, But - wait for it..... You can have it for just 29 suggested retail dollars higher than one that does have all of those items.
S&W Claims that all they do to make it a Talo is put MBUS Sights on it and give it a 151 (specialty) prefix to the SKU.
That has to be some very heavy lifting involved to make that an exclusive.
S&W Claims it will have future collectability value as an unmarked Talo edition.. Really.. Yeah, and I am the Easter bunny.
Better Hop along......
