I've owned mine now since 01-2009 and I've sent more than 2,000 rounds down range. Added an AAC Brakeout to it and it's works just great http://youtu.be/kmJtB-GkV6w if you wanna take a look! Waiting for the Trijicon SRS to release and I'll finally have my optic. I love love love mine. I’ve owned mine now since 01-2009 and I’ve sent more than 2,000 rounds down range.

It's about the same as that of my Bushmaster and the trigger on my CNMG lower. I'd buy an aftermarket trigger if you want something better. AR's in general are not known for great triggers right out of the box. The trigger on my MOE is nothing to brag about. It’s about the same as that of my Bushmaster and the trigger on my CNMG lower.

I am more than happy with this rifle. It takes me back to my days in the Marine Corps and I love the smell of a freshly shot rifle. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quality rifle at a lower price.

I have shot this gun before and am a die hard fan of S&W. I wanted a carbine to train with both close and quick clearing techniques as well as change the barrel out for long range 200+yds sniper cover techniques. Any help will be appreciated.

Sounds like the pricing is getting better. It is my first AR and I can't wait to take it to the range. Will come back with thoughts on performance.

This is the only complaints I've heard about the early S&W rifles. Sorry you had trouble with your M4. Did S&W make it right for you? How was their customer service? Daniel:

I've probably put about 1000 rnds through it with no problems. I have used 5 different brands of mags and feeding is always flawless. Most of my shooting is with the cheap stuff (Brown Bear, Silver Bear, Tula and a little Wolf). PMC and Remington is about the best stuff I every buy. 55 gr Brown Bear gives me the best groups. It's a pretty obvious difference in the sizes and I'm only a average rifle shooter. This gun has been fun for the whole family and my wife and teenage daughter enjoy it. I have a BCM midlength and would like to see S&W put out a middy too. The function and accuracy is no better on the BCM but I like powerful scope and that extra couple of inches on the middies makes the rifle look less cluttered after mounting the scope. I'd recommend these AR's. I got into the AR market at the peak and was pretty much violated at the cash register. Still....when all things are considered I have enjoyed this gun and have no complaints other than my not researching prices before purchasing.

Both have been seen thousand of rounds fired while intentionally uncleaned and dry for long sessions with Hornady steel case practice ammunition. Neither carbine has malfunctioned in any way. Both are quite accurate, and deliver exceptional reliability. I also recently used one of them for a non manufacturer-sponsored armorers course and founds the individual parts, assembly, and general "build" to be excellent.( far superior to one of their more famous rivals) They are truly first tier weapons.

Fail to fire and double feeding. Im using magpul mags and good practise ammo. Had an armorer check it and he said the gas tube is misaligned which in turn is dragging on the bolt causing the issues. Anyone else had this problem? I go to rack it and the bolt wont seat due to the gas tube creating resistance. Kinda frustrated since I was so excited to get this rifle. S&W should replace the rifle correct???? Hey,,, Just bought the MOE and had 7 malfunctions in the first 90 rounds. Fail to fire and double feeding. Im using magpul mags and good practise ammo.

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.

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.
