The rifle uses a direct-impingement, semi-automatic action on the AR-15 platform, with a flat-top upper receiver carrying a T-marked Picatinny rail (T4–T12 visible). It is equipped with a forward assist, ejection-port cover, and brass deflector, aligning with a classic carbine feature set. Receivers are aluminum alloy with a uniform black finish and prominent "M&P 15" model markings.
The 16" steel barrel is roll-marked "5.56 NATO 1/9" and pairs a 1:9 twist with a carbine-length gas system. The muzzle is threaded and fitted with an A2-pattern birdcage flash suppressor. This configuration supports common 5.56 NATO loads while maintaining a handy carbine length.
Furniture consists of a S&W-marked 6-position collapsible polymer stock and an A2-pattern pistol grip for a familiar control layout. The handguard is a Magpul MOE-type, two-piece, carbine-length polymer unit. An A2-style fixed front sight base is matched to a polymer flip-up rear sight.
Chambered in 5.56mm NATO with a 30+1 stated capacity, it accepts AR-15/STANAG pattern magazines and includes one 30-round Magpul PMAG. Markings include "SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MA MADE IN U.S.A." and the model rollmark "MODEL M&P-15."
