M&P15 picture thread

I found a single point sling adapter that kinda opens up and bolts around the tube. No need for tube removal. I can't remember where I got it right now but I was searching the Internet and found it.

Very cool. Will have to check that out too.
 
My M&P 15 OR - 5.56 NATO

Troy folding battle sights (front and rear)

Troy single point sling and mount

Troy 30rnd magazines - 3

Magpul angled fore-grip

Magpul 30rnd PMAG - 4

UTG LED flashlight

Sight Mark Ultra Shot reflex sight

Waiting for a new mount for the light to arrive. Want to replace the gas block and handguard. Maybe add a laser a little later.

I Just picked up a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Limited Edition Patriot Series
"Don't Tread on Me" Rifle. It's an Optics Ready without sights.


The Logo is etched into the receiver.

It's a real nice rifle, I really love the logo ...

My Sport

After all these add-ons, this thing is heavy. It went fr barebones 6.5 lbs to 8 lbs without any loaded mags. I was just in a hurry to do some upgrades and tacked on some cheap stuff. I am building a lower with a 22 upper for my son so most of all these ugrades will be moving to the other one. I suggest save your $$$, pick the light furniture and take your time in dressing up your sport. Sorry for the crappy phone picture.

Be safe and have fun.

Shipyard Dog out.

Don't worry. No matter how many times you say it or read it, everyone learns the hard way and ends up with a drawer full of bolt ons.
 
I like "old school" too:

I like old school too. I might put the original, plastic handguard - after I camo it out. I just didn't like the added weight of the quad rail...and the bullet button. ;-)

I've done a few minor upgrades to my gun personally and this past weekend for my birthday I added a night vision scope to my M&P 15.

Got my Sport set up over the past few weeks

(NO COMMENTS FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY ABOUT MY DIRTY BENCH!!!!

8eqa6ada.jpg


MOE carbine hand guard

MOE light kit

MIAD grip

Surefire M951 I took off another gun (think I may just put a TLR-1 on as the Surefire is too bulky)

Primary Arms red dot (not a bad red dot!)

Still need:

VTAC MK2 sling

Mount-n-Slot hand stop

LOTS more ammo so I don't have to shoot my stockpile.
 
It's been a while.

It's been a while since I've poked around this forum. I've sold off my 15-22 and my M&P 9fs pistol is on consignment sale. The one and only S&W I have left is my 15-Sport. I've been tempted to sell it, but the Thompson Center 1:8 5R progressive gain twist Melonite treated heavy barrel is too darn good to let go.

It's been through some different changes. I've had carbine length drop in quad rails on it, Magpul furniture, bi-pod, flashlights, vertical grips, magpul sights, primary arms dot & magnifier, lightened trigger springs, polished combat triggers, etc... At one point it had every tacticool doo-dad on it and it became a pig of an AR.

I last settled on a basic setup to keep the 15-Sport lightweight. The original narrow diameter, no heat shield, handguard was back on. Most of the tacticool doo-dads came off.

I liked the return to a lightweight rifle. I prefer to shoot iron sights. What I didn't like was the lack of a heat shield on the handguard and the limited top rail space. With a Troy rear folding sight deployed, there was not enough rail space to mount a dot I had laying around. I got tired of the A2 front sight in the sight picture for those times I used a dot. I reconfigured the 15-Sport again.

  • Troy folding front battlesight
  • Troy folding rear battlesight
  • Troy 15" Alpha Rail
  • Troy Squid Grip rail inserts
  • YHM low profile gas block
  • Magpul MIAD grip with three emergency round grip insert.
  • Magpul MOE stock
  • Magpul MOE extended butt pad
  • Magpul B.A.D. lever
  • AR-Restor Hydraulic Buffer
  • RRA 2-Stage Varmint Trigger
  • BCM charging handle

The Troy Alpha rail has a small diameter which gives me a similar feel to the circumference of the stock 15-Sport handguards that I like. I have a longer iron sight radius. I'm going to change out the Bushnell Trophy "T" Dot for something smaller. The size and weight of it is annoying me to no end. I also prefer a simple 2-point sling set up. With the A2 front sight base gone, I'll have to figure out a new sling set up.

My 15-Sport is close to being done. :)
