Can I mount the front sight on the gas block of my flat top M&P15 without melting it?

Magpul doesn't recommend it. When I do mount a front sight to a gas block I use Midwest industries. They have a gas block height specific sight.

On 2nd thought they are pretty tough but I would not mount them the gas block.

Yes you can. Has rails on top for sights. I use fastfire ( Burris ) You can put on Doktor, EOTech or any type of sight. If you don't want to have a reflex sight, the mount comes with upper rings without a rail.

Hi PA. I would not remove the front sight. It is designed to be used as a backup just in case the batteries go out on the red dot.

The height of the front sight would matter. Many are pretty generic and will work just fine. Just make sure the sight is correct for gas block or regular flat top mounting. If zeroed properly, the ranges selector will be pretty close. Bear in mind that it's an estimated reference. Weight of the projectile and amount of powder load will cause variations. The sight is fine for most general purposes. pretty durable overall...I like them.

These will not work for a flat top AR. Product description clearly states, "Profile Designed for Installation on Gas Block." I failed to heed this warning, purchased the set for my Mossberg MMR tactical with flattop picatinny upper, and they do not work. The front sight cannot be adjusted high enough to get a straight shot.

Absolutely not! I bought a pair and my gas block is approximately 3/16" lower than than the receiver rail and, after trying all adjustments possible, I could not even come close to getting any type of accuracy alignment I then tried user a 1/2" riser on the gas block and the same problem arose due to the front now being higher! The gas block and receiver rail MUST be virtually 100% identical in height!

Usually no. This flashlight's mount "wrap" around the standard A2 front-sight/gas-block, with the built-in bayonet lug at its core. I believe the M&P; 15-22 has a proprietary front sight pole. You may want to double check for yours.

Yes. This is a flat top sight to match F-marked front sights. I have the same configuration.

These do work very well for a flat top. I wouldn't mount it directly on the gas block. It's designed to be mounted on a picatinny rail system.

Yes, this scope will mount directly to the top rails on your S&W; M&P; 15/22. Unless you use a riser to raise the height of scope, you would need to remove your front/rear sights so they would not interfer with your line of sight while using this scope.

Yes..this front sight is mounted on my gas block, and together equals the same height as a standard m-4 front sight.NOTE: The rail on my gas block is lower than the rail on the receiver, that is why I needed this standard front sight. {they do make a short front sight for full length rails} hope this helps. joe

Don't know for sure. I bought both front and rear popup sights to mate with my Flat top upper and the"raised" gas block (to match the pop up rear sight on my new flat top upper). They aligned perfectly! I'm doing to do an upgrade soon to replace my Olympic A2 upper with a Flattop upper and although I've got a rear & front flip up set (I got FS & RS from Amazone for $22/ W free shipping. I think they're greart.) decide to keep my stock fixed mil spec FS. We'll see which option works better. question me in a month or so (Wish I couild jump on the "fun" stuff vs. 'day to day crap' right now, but can't.) I'll find out if the std Fixed FS aligns with the flattop popup RS W/I a few weeks. Remind me! Don't know for sure.

Yes, I have it mounted to a S&W; M&P; sport model AR15. The built-in laser unfortunately will be blocked by the front fixed sight. I purchased an additional laser and mounted it on a forward picatinny rail.

Mine actually cleared it. Doesn't interfere at all, but you could always change to a low profile gas block. I also mounted some flip up a angled sights which work perfectly.

My 91/30 has two pins on the lower part of the iron sight that hold it to the dovetail on top of the barrel as well as an upper pin which the sight hinges on. The two lower pins must be removed in order to install the Brass Stacker over the iron sight. Mine came out very difficultly because they were soldered in.

if not you can put 1" riser blocks under Neath the see thru mounts that is the way I did it on my smith & Wesson p22 I have the laser under Neath my barrel and a big scope on top and can see my iron sights with no problem so if it don't work just with the scope mounts you can but 1" riser monts form Amazon and I know that worked for me

Yes. Drive out the old front sight with a punch and replace with these. First, take a triangular file and gently reduce the base on the firesight until it goes easily into the slot. Use epoxy or thread lock to hold in place. The firesight will not take heavy pounding.
