S&W M&P15 MOE
In February S&W will launch two new M&P15 (AR-15) models. The M&P15 MOE (Magpul Original Equipment) features, as the name suggests, as many Magpul accessories as they could fit on the rifle.

Overall I think this is a compelling package. Instead of buying and AR-15, only to spend more on Magpul accessories you can just get an M&P15 MOE.
No word on pricing.
I like the rear site. I never seen a dark earth one. I will have to go search for one of those to add to the list of parts for my AR project.
As long as the price is reasonable this thing will sell like hotcakes.
Cripes, of all the MagPul accessories they cheaped out and left off the most famous, the trigger guard. D’oh.
They did leave off the trigger guard! Even I own one of their trigger guards. I see no rails on the handguards?
Its too bad they’re only using the MOE equipment from Magpul. While the additions are nice and they make the rifle look cool they are no where near as functional as the higher end parts like the CTR stock and MIAD grip. It would’ve been a lot nicer if they had included those (also more expensive though).
p.s. Thats why you dont see the signature trigger guard: It’s not MOE.
I’m surprised it does not have the Magpul polymer trigger guard.
It quite an improvement for an $8 retail part.
I’d bet this has $125 premium over the standard M&P15
I’ve had this S&W Moe rifle in dark earth for a year now and I have over 1000 rnds( I know i’m slackin ) through it with no problems. It operates as smooth as and is as accurate as any of my m4’s and it is my favorite now. It shoots 1 1/2″ groups @ 100yds with cheap ammo. I do not care about using expensive ammo for tighter groups it does the job on ground hogs just fine. I have an aimpoint comp m4 on a 1/2 riser, Thinking about getting a magnifier to reach and touch something a little father out. Moe trigger guard, Tango down grips on the front cover with light preasure switch holder and a flashlight mounted under the barrel. It’s simple and light and I love the aimpoint comp m4, It is easier for me to get on target with both eyes open than my eotech 553. But I still like the eotech to.
