I think I'm going run mine without optics for a while first. Currently I have a Firefield 5mW GLS (green laser sight) and a Streamlight M3 light for taking care of pesky skunks and possums after dark.

Flash Suppressor add on
cdavis:
Whos flash suppressor?
I got mine at a local gun shop. It is a Yankee Hill Phantom 5C1 Comp/Flash Suppressor, you can order it direct from them. It is threaded 1/2-28. I took my rifle apart and threaded the barrel myself. The threads are indicated to within .001 total indicator reading of absolute center of the bore. It helps being a Moldmaker / Machinist and having all the right tools.
The smaller tactical scope allowed me to keep iron sights on. The larger 50MM scope and the Hogue handguard made me have to remove the iron sights. Not enough room below the eyepiece, and no rail on the handguard.
I'm making some barrel shrouds that will look exactly like the S&W stock pic. They will be threaded for mine and non threaded for my friends who are don't want to have their barrel threaded. I'm making a bunch of other stuff, but this is not the place to advertise.

how much does your bi-pod weigh down the front, i've got a Grippod but was thinking of putting a Harris Bi-pod on the new fake Acog scope i put on adds more weight to mine then i thought it would
It obviously has a little bit of weight to it but not enough to notice a real big difference.

My M&P 15-22
I finally modified the stock today so I could fit the sling adapter on it. I finally got up the nerve to take the dremel to it. The polymer underneath is slightly lighter in color so I'll probably paint it if it shows too much.
I have the CC&G Agency sling adapter, Magpul XTM rail panels, Tango Down vertical grip, Magpul MS2 Sling, Streamlight TLR-1 with remote switch, and I just got the Barska 1X30 IR electro-sight.
I was suprised that the with the Barska mounted, that the stock sights co-witnessed in the lower 1/3 of the sight.
Next I want to change the stock and the pistol grip. I was going to get the Magpul flip-up sights but I'm not sure if I will now.

So far so good. It was cold and windy Christmas and I mainly wanted to "test" the gun. My son and I are going tomorrow and we'll get it set tight. I like that once set I can quickly swap to a different range.
I'll post results tomorrow.

Went out today and put another 600 rounds into the berm. I fired 75 rounds of Federal Auto-Match with zero problems. 75 rounds of Federal Lightning with zero problems. The rest were Federal 550. Near the end I started having some problems I attribute to the fact it was really getting cruddy. Overall I remember two rounds jammed in the mag and 4 crushed rounds, the rest of the minor problems were a few fail to eject, a few fail to fire.
I got the Barska sighted in tight. It worked real well. We were hitting 4” computer hard drive disks and skeet at 25-50-75 and 100 yards consistently. I know the accuracy would be better if I could resist the urge to always squeeze off two or three rounds each time…….

I just got mine in the day I posted the pics and haven't had the chance to shoot it yet. Maybe later today.
