In basic mechanics, both the Standard and Tactical S&W M&P15 versions are typical-format gas-operated semiautomatic .223/5.56mm AR-15A2-type designs. Both feature 16-inch barrels with chrome-lined bore, chamber, bolt carrier and gas key. The flash suppressor on both is the A2 military style.
The upper and lower receivers are fabricated from 7071 T6 aluminum, manufactured in the U.S. to Smith & Wesson's specifications. The machining, assembly and final-fit matching of the parts are done by hand.
The single-stage trigger is factory set for a maximum break weight of seven pounds. Both versions feature an additional side-mount front sling swivel, for a two-position sling option (swapable to left side or right side). Both models also come standard with a six-position tactical CAR-style collapsible stock, 30-round magazine from Okay Industries and hard-plastic case.
