| Any opinions or experience with the VTAC from S&W? I've got an ACOG that needs a home and thought this might be a good fit. I can get it for approx. $1,600 with a $100 rebate from Smith. Any thoughts would be appreciated. |

M&P VTAC @ Bud's $1534 shipped
No experience with it but built one very similar on an RRA lower with a Bushy pencil barrel for much cheaper!

Quoted: Curious but aren't basic S&W M&P ARs sub $1000.00 now(approx $800 range) not including the rebate? The VTAC handguard can be had for less than $200 as well. ~$1000.00 vs $1600.00!! No brainer!!!!  Some assembly required.Also add $$ for the JP match trigger, Surefire G2 light, VTAC Light Mount, and a VTAC two point padded sling. All this plus you don't void any warranty for putting on the handguard. IMO the CNND deal is a good deal. If this is the configuration your looking for I doubt you can build it for cheaper with out using used parts. |

If this is the configuration your looking for I doubt you can build it for cheaper with out using used parts. +1 $1600 has to be thrown out, $1300 should be the new number to compare prices at handguard $185 sling $40 light mount $25 G2 $42 trigger $140 stock $50 CDNN sells the M&P15OR for $599, the lowest priced model, so you could save about $200 if you went that route but then on top of what PC-Tech said about the warranty, you would have to hunt everything down, and as you said install it. the OR is still only 1:9 twist. I'd buy the VTAC if it had everything I wanted for just for the convenience and call it a day |

Didn't know this model came with the extras already. And the 1:7 twist is a bonus. |

Yes OP, this would be great to throw an ACOG on! |
