Currently Smith & Wesson makes the lower receiver in house while the barrel is supplied by Thompson/Center, an S&W company.

In May 2008, Smith and Wesson introduced their first AR-variant rifle in a caliber other than 5.56×45mm NATO. The M&P15R is a standard AR platform rifle chambered for the 5.45×39mm cartridge.[1] In 2009, they released the M&P15-22, chambered for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge.[2]
