Simple e-mail exchange with S&W.. I asked because of an ongoing rumor that a "free America version" M4rgery was in the works - it doesn't appear to be that way;

Their reply:

Sir

There are no plans at this time.

Subject: Future of M&P 15/.22R rifle?

Hello,

Do you intend on making the M&P-15/.22LR rifle in a configuration that matches your "big bore" 5.56 M&P-15 "M4rgery"?

Thanks!
