I have no idea how these are made and how much they cost. Another reason is the 2 new ones are much easier on the hands. Quad rails need rail covers if you are not wearing gloves.

New M&P15T is now listed on S&W's website:
M&P(R)15T Tactical with M-LOK(R) | Smith & Wesson
and available for sale here:
Smith & Wesson M&P15 223/5.56 30+1 Rifle - 11600 | CenterfireGuns
Looks to be largely unchanged, other than the handguard and flash hider.

It's 2017 and I see the gun stores I patronize have the M&P-15T in stock- I would imagine any LGS could get them too. The keymod and M-Lok guys are always quick to bash any rifle with a quad rail, but it works for me and I don't have to mess around with screws, etc just to mount covers or accessories.
As for the rails being "sharp", put some gloves on those soft hands and deal with it. I shot my M&P-15T before I got my Magpul XTM rail covers and it wasn't that bad. Truth be told I put the covers on more for looks.

The handguard and flash suppressor are new but it also looks like the new T (2017) also has a mid-length gas system. Doesn't the original (pre 17) have a carbine length?

Yes, the quad rail T models have been carbine length gas. Mid length gas is new with the M-Lok 15T.

MSRP is $1,189. Please tell where you're finding for $869?

The first things I did with my 15T was add a ACS stock and a geissele SSA-E trigger. Stock trigger and but stock I really didn't like.
I can believe that. For an "upgraded" gun both those parts on the S&W 15T are pretty basic. I assume they use the same parts across all models, except for the VTAC, in order to create economy of scale.
I too wish S&W would add those features to the M&P15T. I'll go one farther and say they should also put BCM GunFighter charging handles on the M&P15T.
I added all three upgrades to both my M&P15T and my Sport 1. I was getting gas blowback in my face from the stock charging handle.

Those features equal higher prices... higher prices for features that not everyone wants.

Bingo! Thank you.
Keep price down and add what you prefer later. We all don't like the same accessories.
Which is why I am a huge advocate for building your own rifle or buying a complete OEM style rifle and adding the stock and hand guards of your choice. That way you are moot paying for parts that you don't use.

half the fun is applying our own personal "Gucci" to our guns.....
Prolly they should offer the rifles with NO furniture at all!! Then we won't all have a box of old pistol grips, stocks and hand guards!!

Some manufacturers do offer rifles like that, or at least they did last time I checked.half the fun is applying our own personal "Gucci" to our guns.....

Yes they are referred to as OEM rifles.
