That's a nice looking rig. I really like the Troy battle rails in the longer lengths. What muzzle brake do you have on that?

Is that a Vortex strikefire 2 ?
Thanks...15" Troy Alpha, had to ditch the *** UTG rail and proprietary barrel nut but well worth it. Trying to keep it clean and light, basically the exact opposite of all the Mall/Range ninja rigs you see plastered everywhere.
Muzzle is Rainier Arms Compensator (RAC)

Why did you ditch the utg?
I'm thinking about it, a 200 dollar switch. I don't know what to do. If I do I'm going to get the troy alpha vtac ff hand guard in fde.

Because the Troy is very light for a 15" rail, and quad rails are pretty much obsolete...no one needs that much real estate for mounting gear unless they are range/mall ninjas and IMO the UTG stuff is ****. If you go Troy, you will have to buy a standard barrel nut and if doing the swap yourself, a torque wrench, vice, upper receiver block, armorer's wrench, hammer, and punch for the gas block taper pin....or pay a gunsmith $30 (like I did) and have them swap it out.

Here's the latest, greatest up to date pics of my Sport.
Since I'm off tomorrow, I'm thinking a day of shooting is in order.
Hey Gunny what length is that rail - 11"? 13"?

78Staff, as luck would have it, it's a 13". Are you thinking of going that direction?

Just a heads up, put a Troy Lo Pro on my OR this weekend, and we were able to remove and re-use the gas tube. Not sure if just a different revision/year of the OR, but the roll pin/tube came out as normal...

Very nice build.....clean and mean!!!
Yep, between goldspurs09 vid and Gunny getting the Lantac, it's down to one of those two for me - haven't decided yet. Surefire I can get local, Lantac I have to order...the Lantac vids look sweet as well though.
Or this one... PWS FSC556, looks good here also gets great reviews. sigh I need to stop searching lol...

Finally got to take a pic in the outdoors with some decent weather.
I'm really loving this Sport, I don't have to chase brass. This little pile was 6' to my right.
Good Luck and good shooting everyone!

First post, long time lurker. I'm one of the younger guys, a S&W M&P-15 Sport is the only gun I have. I shoot in in Appleseed shoots, 200 yard field matches, and all manner of plinking and family fun. Being my only gun, it's my choice for a defensive arm as well, and I don't think one can do much better than a reliable AR.
I have about 700 rounds through the gun after buying it this December at my LGS, -zero- malfunctions, 150 or so rounds of Wolf Gold, the rest a mix of Federal XM193 and XM855. Majority of the shooting has been with the Magpul irons, the last 150 rounds or so have been with a cheap Chinese "FSI"-branded 1-4x illuminated scope my brother had sitting around.
Only upgrades are a GI loop sling, CAA light mount, and a cheap LED light that has served me well on multiple guns for years. I have a Magpul grip and a Vortex Strikefire II on the way as a graduation present.

And on the other end of that swap with Gunny and TheCatch8 is my 13" Alpha Rail addition...
Recent additions...
Troy 13" Alpha Rail and gas block.
Rail section on lower front allows quickly adding bipod or a Vertical Grip, and the IWS Micro Flush QD Sling Mount dropped right in.
Lantac Dragon Muzzle Device.
Geissele SSA Trigger
WMD Nickel Boron BCG
Larue mount for Micro T1
Laure Index Clips
Noveske QD Endplate
Changed from STR to ACL-L buttstock
Tried a few new grips, going with the MIAD, it's on the way.
And my Aimpoint 3X/Larue combo has been on backorder for 3 weeks now
