I have a 15 inch VTAC on my M&P 15 OR. I'm really happy with it. You would need to change to a low profile gas block.

I use the Troy, it's a drop in and also a free float. Only mod you have to do is remove the sling swivel.

hdrolling,forgive my ignorance,how can it be free float,with just removing the sling mount.All the ones I've seen on you tube either cut down the A2 or install a low profile gas block,thanks

Yes indeed. In fact, I added a laser on top in front of the sight and a light on the bottom when I'm not using my bipod.
