Smith and Wesson M P15 Sport III 5.56 NATO 16 inch 30 round Armornite finish

The Smith & Wesson M&P15 SPORT III brings an AR-style platform built for shooters who want a reliable 5.56 NATO rifle for range days, training, competition, and defensive readiness, featuring a 16-inch 4140 steel barrel with Armornite finish and 1:8 5R rifling for consistent accuracy with a wide range of bullet weights. The Sport III series updates the proven M&P15 design with a free-floating 15-inch M-LOK handguard that reduces felt weight and allows modern accessory placement, a 7075-T6 aluminum receiver set for durability, and a threaded muzzle with an A2 flash suppressor to control signature; ergonomics include a polymer grip and a six-position adjustable stock to dial in length of pull for different shooters and gear. Gas-operated semi-automatic action, bolt forward assist and dust cover provide reliable function in demanding use, while the 30+1 capacity and 1:8 twist make this rifle versatile for target work, small-game hunting where legal, and tactical drills. Weighing roughly 6.5 pounds and measuring 35 inches extended (32 inches collapsed), the M&P15 SPORT III balances maneuverability and stability; transfers must be completed through a licensed FFL.
