Horror Story: M&P 10 and S&W's Customer Service

Wow...that's ugly.

Enough room in front of the gas block to thread it? SBR?

I wouldn't trust any part of that barrel if it were a beer can.

My thought as well. As a mechanical engineer.

MMMM, it does look to be prone to a failure........,,,,the way it split, seems odd, glad Hench didn't get hurt , or anyone around>...

Nah, even if I did trust the barrel enough to keep shooting it, the crack from the split goes almost right up to the gas block journal. The only way to use it would be to chop it behind the gas port and have the gas block journal turned farther rearward, at carbine or pistol length... which would give me something like a 9" .308, which is something I have absolutely no use for, and would cost another $200 for tax stamp in addition to all the machine work. I think I will probably hold out for a little bit and see if I can eventually get a barrel for it.

I will trade a new $100 bill and a package of gummy bears. The big package. I'm not that cheap.

Good Info, My buddy has been telling me to get a S &W M&P Shield pistol, No S & W for me!!!

 

[WES]

Thanks for the heads up. It's definitely something to think about when buying a new unit. I hope it works out for you somehow.
