Anyone know of anything about the S&W M&P15 MOE? Seems like a good setup and looks like its a 5.56 NATO.

Obviously they would need to modified to make the NJ compliant.

 

I have seen them online for about $980.

 

You can buy the MOE handguards separately, and for cheap too. They are a part of the new Magpul lineup, and retail for $30 or so. They are not free float, but drop-in replacements for the standard carbine length handguards. Once some funds free up, I'm going to order a pair, as it is no real loss to try them out for such a cheap price.

 

As for the new Magpul lineup, I find it all pretty interesting. While Magpul gained its initial fame from their magazines (which Paul at AnA has customized to be NJ compliant. Darn good looking, and function great), as well as their buttstock options, they've added the MOE handguards, and MBUS (flip up sights) for very cheap. The front and rear sights set combined is under $100, and, as I've already said, the MOE handguards are $30~. I have never doubted their quality, and once I have the means, will probably get these products to at least try out (and probably retain).
