My New M&P10 with Enhancements!

I just measured the standard handguard and it measures 8 5/8". The Magpul handguard is the mid length model - so I assume all mid length models will fit? You will more than likely have to do some mods (i.e. cutting / bending the heat shield) to the magpul if you go that route.

Also, I am not done with the mods. I have yet to shoot the gun but the trigger is weak on the dry fires. I am looking at the VTAC Super V Trigger, if it does not getting better or I feel more comfortable with it while shooting.

I also will be getting rid of the Magpul handguard and replacing it with a Troy TRX-308 13.8" and replacing the standard gas block with a Troy Low-Profile Gas Block .750.

Later on I might get optics? Trijicon ACOG w/RMR? or Leupold HAMR? or something else? I do not want to much magnification if I do place optics on the gun. That's what my FNAR is set up for when my Trijicon Accupoint 5-20x50 arrives.

Thanks for looking!

*On another note, a sad note, I will not be able to shoot the gun this weekend. I am going out of town; but hopefully and I mean hopefully, I'll be able to shoot it at the farm next week!

For what it is worth. I have the SSA trigger on my M4gery. The specs are the same as the VTAC trigger. The SSA trigger is great. Just take up the slack and press a little more and boom. The SSA trigger will save you some $. I have a Leupold Mark AR Mod one 1.5 x 4 with the green dot and the SPR reticle in a Leupold one piece mount. This is a great scope for the money and it works great on my DDM4V7lw.

In one of your pics, it looks like the delta ring doesn't fit right on the magpul handguard. In another, it looks ok. Is there a problem with the fitment there? Also, how much cutting and bending of the heat shield are we talking about? Could you please post a pic of your modification? Thanks.

M&P 10 LE

Just ordered the LE version yesterday (Product SKU 311308). Could not pass up the chance to finally get one of these. It will be a nice addition to the collection.

From where did you purchase yours?

 

[Shizane6]

Congrats! Would love to see that.

Weather not permitting sighting in sights. But was able to take a picture of it.

Here in NC the weather did not permit shooting of the rifle. I did take a picture of it with the 13.8" Troy TRX-308 handguard (low profile).

I will post more pictures later of the gun. If you have any questions or would like to know / see more about the gun just let me know.

Sweet setup. At present I am leaning on the Troy TRX-308 13.8" hand guard as well.

 

[ArrizX]

Looks great, wondering why you put iron sights on it vs a scope though? Is there any particular reason? I just put a set of irons on mine and am having a hard time bringing myself to buy a scope now that I can actually use the gun.

 

[mdufresne]

Any issues with fit of the Troy TRX-308 13.8" hand guard ???

I Put a Damage Industries mid length free float quad on mine

 

[lesooners]

First post. Quality of the rifle is excellent. Mounted a Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x50mm F1 on a LaRue QD mount, zeroed the scope at 200 meters. Rifle was able to deliver sub-moa groups shooting paper at 200 meters. Using a range bag as a rest, hitting a sniper target at 400 and 500+ meters was not difficult. Only modifications I will be making are a new stock (71 rounds left my shoulder slightly bruised with the factory stock) and a full-length free-floating hand-guard to mount a bipod on. Very impressed with the accuracy and consistency.

Are you sure it is a free float? All the pictures look like a simple replacement for the original handguards.

New Ejection Port Cover

"Don't Tread on Me" ejection port cover. Very easy replacement.

GaHonda, I found three and purchased my first mags threw gunbrokers.com from a seller rothm41 for 105.00 with shipping. Check him out he may have more. Be patient for your price, I have seen them for as high as 55.00 for one. Good luck

I finally bit the bullet and payed nearly twice the MSRP for a pair of them on Gunbroker.
With the high demand for AR15 mags from magpul, I just don't see the 20LR's becoming widely available for a while
