[QUOTE=otisrush;138813501]M&P Sport with a Nikon P-223 3-9x on Nikon mounts.

I do target shooting only - 100-400 yds. The front sight is completely, 100% invisible. I'm motivated (somewhat) to remove that front sight - but only due to external appearances. Not because it interferes with the scope.

This setup has worked great for me. I love it. It's a "bullseye machine" as a friend of mine says. Some of my most fun days are spent hitting a steel spinner at 100 yds.


========================================

Before you consider removing the FS, understand that this is a major undertaking. S&W puts these sights/gas blocks on to stay there (forever).

I recently wanted to float my barrel and ended up really butchering the front gas block (M&P15 OR) trying to get the pins out. I had to take my upper to a local gunsmith who cut the block off. The good news is that I free floated the barrel AND upgraded the gas block with a Syrac adjustable one. I have fine tuned my rifle. Both 223 and 556 brass eject in pristine condition. Accuracy has improved. Recoil has decreased greatly. (I am using MagPul Pro BUIS)
