If you mean the M&P 15-22 (.22LR), no. The 15-22 handguard is not compatible with an AR platform. And, there is no gas block on a 15-22. The front sight on a 15-22 simply mounts to the handguard, or it could mount to the railed gas block of the Optics Ready you mentioned earlier.
Suggest going to a gun store and looking at different AR configurations. You'll see free float handguards with low profile gas block underneath and sights that attach to the handguard versus an A2 style like the Sport. It's really simple stuff with the gun in hand... but can be a bit much to absorb with just words.
