Smith & Wesson M&P 15, Sport III, 223 Remington/5.56 NATO, 16″ Barrel, Black, 30 Rounds

Product Description

The Smith & Wesson M&P15 Sport III Optic Package is the version that comes sighted and ready: the 16″ Sport III in 5.56 NATO with a Crimson Trace CTS-106 red dot installed at the factory and one 30-round magazine. You are not buying an optic, a mount and a zeroing session on top of the rifle — it ships as one package.

What’s in the package

• M&P15 Sport III rifle — 16″ barrel in 5.56 NATO / .223 Remington, mid-length gas system, free-float M-LOK handguard, 6-position collapsible stock, black anodized finish
• Crimson Trace CTS-106 red dot — factory-installed
• One 30-round magazine

Smith & Wesson part number 14207, UPC 022188898194. If you would rather start with the plain rifle and choose your own optic later, or you want the version that ships with a range case and a maintenance tool instead, both are listed further down this page.

The free-float M-LOK handguard keeps the barrel unsupported, which is where the accuracy comes from, and gives you rail space for a light or a sling mount. The anodized black finish handles weather and holster wear. The collapsible stock adjusts length of pull, so the same rifle fits a new shooter and an adult in a plate carrier.

Key Features & Reliability

The rifle accepts both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition, and the M-LOK handguard takes a wide range of aftermarket accessories. The 5.56 NATO chambering provides excellent ammo availability and cost-effectiveness. As a result, you enjoy flexibility and value in every shooting session.

Smith & Wesson’s reputation for quality manufacturing ensures dependable operation. The M&P 15 cycles reliably in various shooting conditions and environments. Therefore, you can trust consistent accuracy and performance downrange.
