I'd like to add iron sights. Is the muzzle brake blued steel or plastic?

The muzzle brake is metal. Mine is painted black. By the way, I am very pleased with the rifle.

steel barrel, but the rest is plastic . most of these pistols are plastic, as are many parts of the real thing nowadays.

I would suggest when you knock the pin out of the rear sight check it good because i was told there are some that are solderes in. You still have to be careful once you knock out pin there is aheavy piece of spring steel underneath because nothing is made light on this rifleI would suggest that you use epoxy or liquid steel when you set it in then put the screws in it will loosen up on you after about 25 shots or so it is acheap set up and you get what you pay for.

I lightly sanded the bottom of the rear sight with a very high grit sharpening stone till the site went about half way by hand. Then I used a universal sight pusher off eBay. For the front I used a 3\16 driver and locktite

This muzzle brake is made to clamp onto the barrel using the front sight base to prevent it from being eventually pulled off by the gases from firing. I never tried this unit on a barrel without a front sight. You may consider having it silver-soldered in place, which would still cost much less than having the barrel threaded for a screw-on type brake. But, to just clamp it on, it may work itself loose after some firing. I just don't know for sure.

The mount I received is machined from 7075 Aluminum bar stock. The existing stripper clip lug was removed to facilitate the rear attachment point on the sight mount. The two side receiver screws complete the mounting installation. At the range, could not get the scope to stay dialed in. The windage knob would move four to six clicks right and the elevation knob would move two to three clicks down after each shot. Sent the scope back to Aimsportsinc and upgraded. The violent action of the M1A was too much for the original scope but have had no problems with the setup in place right now. The mount is solid. Hope this helps. Cheers.

I have an S&P; 15 with that muzzle brake. It fires .225 or 5.56 and greatly reduces any muzzle climb. Easy install and looks great.

Mostly plastic, the barrel and other parts that part of the firing mechanism are metal, but everything else is plastic. There is a large metal weight in the grip to add weight and heft of the real 9mm Berretta. My son eventually traded this gun away for another gun. So disappointed in the performance and the slide breaking at the ejection port he gave it away.

The front sight is a very, very hard material... but not metal. It holds an orange site-piece very firmly in three points. The rear sight is metal and is completely adjustable for windage and range. Well, no... looking at it again it seems to be partially the same tough plastic the front sight is made of, only with two green points instead of orange. (I feel I should know the terminology for these things.) I can't tell you how good they work because my rifle came with a scope that is dead-nuts accurate. No rabbit has escaped this rifle yet.

I have an M&P; AR 15T with an EXPS2-0 and G33.STS. No problem with the iron sights.

Barrel,shroud,bolt,and internal components are all steel.The grip and receiver are a tough composite plastic.the drozd is great for plinking and is easy to load,but if you want knock down power for larger pests . I would recomend smg22

The tactical rails of the gun are metal, as well as the trigger, stock, and barrel. The rest of the outer frame is really good plastic that I couldn't even tell apart from metal when I first got it.

The type of rail you use will decide if the iron sights are usable. I have the Brass Stacker rail and yes, I can use the iron sights too.

Yes it is metal. I use 2 of the on my Windham AR and have my iron Diamond sights on them and a red dot on top. As you can see in the picture, there are 4 groves so as long as the sight you want to use can use 4 groves (8 if you use 2) your all set. Any sight that uses standard rails will work :)

I have both, and the rear sight and the front face different directions because of the height of the gas block. The front will face the barrel, and the rear will face the charging handle. If I had it to do over again might have went troy or Magpul now has metal but they are very good Bus sights expensive but good!

Yes it is metal, the red dot sight will work as long as there is clearance.

Mostly metal, only the grey parts are plastic. The tip is metal. Good gun for the money.
