New MP15OR yepyep

[REM 3200]

sweet! thanks, now to get me a gotton gi web sling and a swivel. So I could use one of those high speed QD mount bipods as well eh?

Or use the threaded hole for the bipod.

IM going to hold off on the bipod. This is a home defense weapon, I have to keep reminding myself im not any kind of operator or mall ninja. Im going to zero the 3x at 50/200 and the canted iron sights @ 25. have 2 HD mags loaded w 44 gr hollowpoint varmint ammo, low penetration and lower risk of pass thru i hear. Hope i never have to use it but dont want to be worrying (excessively) about collateral damage in case i have to.

I thought it might based on what everyone was saying. I took it off S&W's site though. This is a pic from their M&P15OR page. Maybe they've changed.

Yeah, it does look like that larger hole will take a QD swivel. The smaller threaded hole will probably take a permanent attachment like this:
GrovTec Sling Swivel Stud Pack 1/8 Machine Screw Steel Package of 12


It's a nice gas block. I've never seen one like that. I don't like slings so, a QD point like this would be fantastic for those few times I have to use a sling.

I have thought that myself about the small holeit would probably work. I discovered that the larger one was a quick detach mount after seeing a review on youtube or something. I had bought my MP15OR sometime during Obama's first term. I think it was about $700 after a $200 rebate.

It looks like there may be a set screw up in the smaller hole, I don't know I have never tried to remove the gas block on the MP15 OR.

That is exactly like the gas block on my MP15 OR.

That is exactly like the gas block on my MP15 OR.

Ditto...before I took it off and put on an adjustable gas block, which, incidentally, has a QD mount. I asked S&W what the threaded hole was for and their tech guy had "no idea." Any thoughts anyone?

PS: Removal of the gas block -- it's a B#^^*h

Probably just a threaded hole for a sling swivel stud.
