Smith & Wesson M&P15 AXE .300 BLK 8in 30+1 Pistol - Black

Build a compact suppressor host with the Smith & Wesson M&P15 AXE Pistol in .300 Blackout. S&W's AXE line is built around an AR that runs right with a suppressor attached, and this 8-inch braced pistol brings that idea to .300 Blackout, the cartridge that suppressor owners favor. It is short, light, and maneuverable, with a 5/8x24 threaded muzzle and a 30-round magazine.

The 8-inch barrel is 4150 CMV steel with an Armornite finish and 5R rifling at a 1:7.5 twist, which suits everything from lightweight supersonic loads to heavy subsonics. A nickel boron coated barrel extension helps the action stay clean and smooth. Dealers list the gas system as Gemtech's GVAC, a direct impingement design with an expansion chamber in the gas block, tuned to run with a suppressor attached. The thread protector is installed, and the pistol ships with one 30-round magazine for 30+1 capacity.

The receiver is 7075 T6 aluminum with a black hardcoat anodized finish and a Picatinny top rail, and the Midwest Industries Combat free-float M-LOK handguard lets you add a light, a grip, or other accessories. The Radian Raptor ambidextrous charging handle, an ambidextrous bolt release, magazine catch, and safety selector make it easy to run from either side. The M&P pistol grip has four interchangeable backstraps, and the Magpul BTR arm brace gives you a stable platform. No sights are included, so add your favorite red dot or magnified optic to the rail.

The pistol is 23.25 inches long and weighs about 5.4 pounds, and S&W lists an MSRP of $1,479. If you want the same layout as a short-barreled rifle, ask us about the M&P15 AXE SBR in .300 Blackout (SKU 13888). Suppressors can be transferred with a standard firearm background approval (Form 4473).
