I have a little Christmas money to spend on gun stuff. I have an S&W M&P-15 with the Magpul MOE furniture. Carbine length gas tube and handguard. Standard A2 front sight.
Is it possible (or reasonable) to install a low profile gas block and then a rifle (or mid) length free float handguard? Would it look silly having a rifle length free float handguard on a 16.5 inch barrel? How would the balance be? Or would it be best to just put the carbine length free float handguard and keep the A2 front sight?
I'm just looking for a few thoughts. I want to keep it simple, I don't want a lot of rails. I like the looks of the Houge tubes but would also like something in FDE to match the rest of the gun. I need to be able to install a backup front sight as well.
