But here's my new M&P15OR, already updated with the new, recently released Magpul MOE handguards. These make an amazing difference in the handling of the carbine . . . more like the original triangular M16 handguards.
These truly have a more triangular shape to them (hard to show), that lays in the hand much better. You can mount accessory rails on the sides and bottom too for lights, straps, mono grip/bipods, etc.
Naturally, it works well with the A2 type front sight, but also works great with the tall gas block on the front of the S&W M&P15OR too, I'm very glad to say!
Naturally, this new carbine is a work in progress. I imagine backup flip-up front and rear sights are next, along with a different grip.
Suggestions on front sight? It rests on the taller gas block than many AR15s have, so I've got to keep that in mind.

Before I made that conversion I bought the Troy folding front sight and it lined up perfectly because the gas block rail on the OR is exactly even with the top rail on the upper.

*may* convert mine over to the standard style, similar to JaPes's pic above.
Or, I may just paint the gas block black so it doesn't stand out so much from the black hardware and barrel.
