Anyone with M&P's with Docter sights or something like that on it?

I want to use it for competition shooting in the open class (recreactional) but I suck with stock sights, so i want a red dot on it. (still need to holster it)

how did you go about doing the barrel and parts?

The most common way is to soak the barrel in vinegar for a few hours. (plug the openings of the barrel before you put it in though) and use a Scotch-pad to remove the rest of the bluing. I used my Dremel with a wheel that resembles a Scotch-pad to really clean it up after soaking. Same with the take-down lever and slide-catches. (didn't soak those, the bluing comes off rather easily)

Wipe them with a little bit of oil afterwards, and voila!;)
 
Well I finally got a pic of all my new guns together M&P 15-22, M&P Shield 9mm, Glock 23 .40 with Crimson Trace Laser Grips - the M&P 15TS being the newest addition...

Well, I soaked the barrel for about 4 hours, then used a scotch pad to remove most of the rest of the bluing. But the scotch pad was leaving scratches, so I switched to my dremel on medium speed with a scotch pad-like attachment to remove the rest of the bluing and the scratches. The other parts, I didn't soak, just used to the dremel. Once all the bluing was gone, I switched to a polishing attachment and Mothers Metal Polish (available at AutoZone). Applied the polish to the part, then turn on the dremel to medium and then to medium-high to really buff it out. Wipe with a microfiber cloth and voila. I did all the pieces in about an hour.

As a side note, I went to Harbor Freight Tools yesterday and bought a 3" electric grinder and buffer for $28. I used that buffer along with the Mother's Metal Polish again to REALLY shine her up. Big difference, as now the takedown lever, ejector, and barrel are pretty much mirror-like.
