Hello M&P owners! I have a M&P O.R. I'm looking for a little insight into who has a free float on their M&P and if there is any tips or tricks anyone has as to which ones work well with their M&P. I'd like one to run a rifle length on mine so it remains flush down the receiver and handguard. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I ran a Troy Drop in Battle Rail for a while....it is not free floating. However, it was secure, didn't flex, and was super easy to mount. I would think their free float rails would be of the same high quality.
x2 on the Daniel Defense Omega 7.0. I've been running that one on my M&P15 OR for about a year. Can't say anything bad about it. Works great and is also an easy installation....the later being the main reason I bought it. They are a little spendy but then quality always is.
I've not checked out their line lately to see what other lengths are available.

I went with
Troy Industries MRF-C BattleRail M4/AR15 Type Carbine (7-Inch)
They said it was the strongest self installed free floating hand guard in the world. lol, I love it
if I had to do it again I would have gone for a longer hand guard so that I could extend my grip for rapid follow up shots.

Yeah I did some more research today and the 11" or 13" Alpha rail from Troy looks to be the winner. Now I just have to wait until they release their new ones so I can use my stock barrel nut!

If your bipod can use a sling swivel stud (such as a Harris), it will work just fine with a round tube, assuming you can mount the stud.
I believe a rail to stud adapter is available in case you wanted to use something like the GripPod.

I have a RRA mid-lenght on my sport, it is drille for a pod of your choice with a small gas block. Its used but its the look I wanted also.Rock River Arms: RRA Aluminum Free Float Tubes

I really like that look...what size of gas block did you have to go to....and what lengths are possible?
It had the .750 low pro gas block-http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=375- from rra also when I picked it up and it could have used a full lenght float tube if thats what you want.

Have the same one. Great product and priced below the DD. Also cleaner look without the d ring hanging out.

Did you have to do any gun smithing work to fit this? Im a NEWB. haha. the RRA website says it needs "some" gunsmithing to fit it.
I really like the look of this, but an worried about having to smith it.

I went with a UTG Pro quad rail (mid-length, over a Troy low profile gas block). I know UTG's older stuff has a shady reputation, but I've heard good things about the US-made Pro series, and so far I like it (I've had it about 3 weeks, and 1 range trip so far). It's very solid, good fit-and-finish, and about $100 cheaper than a DD or Troy.
I want this. In a bad way.

I just installed a 13" TRX Alpha rail from Troy on my Sport. It was the gen 2 with three screws and clampsaround the existing barrel nut. Very solid and modular if you wanna hang some equipment. Pic on page 7 in the sticky pic thread.

I'm a big fan of Midwest and YHM. The YHMs tend to weigh a little bit more than the more expensive ones but they're rock solid and reasonably priced.
