Does anybody have any info or pictures from Shot Show of the new Magpul lower made by Smith & Wesson?

Since I am a mere mortal, I will never be able to own an original Magpul A,B or C lower. This is the closest thing to it that I can manage, plus I love all my Smith & Wessons!

Seems steep for an AR, but it does come with Art of Tac Carbine 1 and 2 DVDs. I wonder if they will offer stripped lowers in this flavor...

DCMoney, They're just showing how the trigger guard is different from a standard lower.

I dunno either. I ordered mine beginning of November and was surprised that the serial number was in the 120's. Fingers crossed it will only be another 6 months before I get my grubbly little hands on it and take it home!

Not ambi?

There were three variants of the prototype Magpul lowers, but the S&W/Magpul lowers are not the ambi design. However, they are superior in construction to anything we ever made and are the only integral trigger guard lowers on the market (that I'm aware of) that are made from a forging and not a billet. This most likely makes them the strongest AR lowers available anywhere- 'billet' features and reinforcements with the strength advantages of a forging.

So are the new Noveske gen II lowers. Both are beautiful.

Can the BAD lever be used with the MP/S&W receiver?

So did ar-15.com buy the rights to one design and s&w the other? Or is the difference one being forged and the other billet?

What's the difference?

Ive looked everywhere does anyone have a pic of the other side of the lower with the S&W logo??

It would be cool if they would sell just the lower.

Because it's not a Magpul lower, it's an AR15.COM lower..

I've been tempted to buy one, not sure if I ever will though.. It's too many clams for me. I like the design, but don't care for the rollmarks..
