Smith & Wesson M&P 15 AXE SBR 5.56 11.5″ M-LOK

The Smith & Wesson M&P 15 AXE is a suppressor-optimized short-barreled rifle built on the M&P15 platform. It features a Gemtech GVAC upper designed to mitigate gas blowback when running suppressed and ships with one 30‑round magazine. The rifle is finished in black and is configured with an 11.5" 1:8 twist, 5R rifled barrel.
