First rifle need help! m&P15OR
So I just bought my first M&P15 and I got the OR model. I want to put all flat dark earth Magpul accessories on it and right now my next move is the handguard. This is carbine length right? I feel like this obvious but I just need to make sure.
I got an EOtech for it as well as some flip ups. I want to get a good green laser as well, any suggestions?
I'm open to all info! thanks!

Congrats and welcome aboard!
The M&P-15 OR has a carbine length gas system. As for a green laser, I used to have a Crimson Trace green rail master laser on my rifle. After I got an EoTech, the laser was overkill. IMO, take a look at the vertical fore grips that have an integrated laser. Those look convenient.

JaPes beat me to it. Yes it's a carbine. I certainly see a lot of people changing out to the flat dark earth. Me, I like basic black.

What flip up front sight did you get to mount on the gas block?

I got a set of MAGPUL MBUS Gen 2's. I'm it's gonna be too big for the gas block rail. But I found front and rear sights on amazon for $70 so I couldn't pass it up.
Will the carbine length MOE handguard work on that rifle with that gas block there instead of a normal A2 sight?

The MOE handguard will work, the MOE-SL will not.
Be careful on the front sight, plastic sights will melt, it needs to be metal.
