Some time back I changed the stock on my M&P10, added an adjustable gas block, and a Troy Rail (this was before the Troy/Dale Monroe controversy--I'd look for a different rail today). I was going to upgrade the trigger but after trying the gun with 145gr ammo (that my M1A likes) and finding low-average MSR levels of accuracy I kind of lost interest.
Last weekend I saw a couple NutNFancy videos raving (positively) about this gun. The interesting thing is they were getting sub-MOA with 168gr ammo but 2-3 MOA with 150gr. (same with 2 sample guns). He was going over all the virtues of the gun and the vices. Funny he names the 3 vices I changed on my own. He also pointed out that the visible portion of the barrel is deceptively thin--it is a fairly heavy profile until the block, thin afterward.
Needless to say I will be playing with heavier bullets and seeing if I can form a second opinion. I definitely agree with Col Whelen that "only accurate rifles are interesting".
Here are the videos:

He does a run and gun video as well.
