thats correct. very nice accesories. troy sights are pretty much the industry standard and are what all others are judged against.

Mine have been great quality fit and finish both the Troy Rails and iron sights are the best. S&W made a wise choice going with Troy. I just hope they don't change vendors.

My S&W M&P 15FT has the flip-up Troy sights front and rear (down in this photo) and the Troy MRF (Modular Rail Forend) for a front rail, OEM'ed for Smith & Wesson. Solid and precise, the sights are the greatest BUIS for my rifle. The front rail is as solid as Gibraltar, I have just added a side-mounted sling mount to the picatinny rail.

i noticed in you pic that your barrel is the same size the whole length. the rifle i saw at my dealer is not fell the same size full length, it is stepped, for the lack of a better discription. why is there a difference?

That is just the difference in barrel profile. The one you posted, I believe, is an M4 profile (made according to standards used by the military so things like grenade launchers will attach properly) whereas what was posted above is is pretty straight forward. Im not too knowledgable on that basis, but I can tell you that the difference in barrel profile is not too important, at least in my findings.
Perhaps the barrel with a straight profile is designed for a state with a tight AWB in which it cannot have a flash suppressor or magazine that holds more than 30 rounds (MP15 FT comes with 10 round mag). Regardless, the MP15T has treated me very well. The Troy rail is very well made and takes about 3 minutes to remove from the barrel nut. The iron sights are nice though my front sight's screw likes to back out without lock-tite. I might ask Troy for a replacement screw because mine is starting to wear with the extra tightening, but all in all, I like the aprts very much. |

His is the "ban state" version, no M4 cuts, fixed stock etc. |

In Massachusetts, flash supressors are not allowed on post-ban firearms. It has a full 16" barrel, described as a match barrel by some. To be Mass.-legal, the M&P 15FT is sold with a pinned stock, no bayonet lug, and a 10-round magazine. What is pictured is a pre-ban LaBelle 30-round magazine.
