Hello everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster.
Around 6 months ago I bought my first AR15, an M&P sport II. I have made no mods to it as I originally just wanted a relatively basic, carbine length rifle to familiarize myself with the AR platform. Now that I have owned it for a little while and put a few rounds through it, I'm looking at tailoring it more for what I want it to be: Home defense/civil unrest situation, but also just to take to the range for some fun at 25-100 yards.
What I want are: red dot optics (with no A2 front), vertical front grip, folding front sight, possibly a tac light.
So, opinions please. Im not really a fan of co-witnessed irons, hence the folding front sight for when the optic is running at the A2 front sight's expense. Also, I don't necessarily want the expense of going free-float - I still want this to be a learning rifle at this stage. I am thinking of a drop in carbine length quad rail, picatinny VFG, a railed gas block, and MBUS pro folding front sight.
Would I need a new end cap if I replace the handguard with a quad rail such as the UTG drop-in and Rock River railed gas block? Would this be the right height for the MBUS pro to mount on the gas block and line-up correctly with the standard MBUS rear I already have.
So many questions, I know. But I appreciate feedback from people more knowledgeable than myself.
