These barrels will fit the M&P-15 Sport 2 receiver, however, the front sight tower and handguard will not be compatible. This listing is for barrels that include a gas block, but you will likely need a new handguard and gas tube to suit the barrel.

The Faxon Firearms AR-15 Gunner Profile Threaded Barrel uses 5R grooves and comes with the Anti-rotation pin on the barrel. It will fit a Palmetto State Armory upper, and any upper that accepts AR15 style barrels.

The gas block is a low-profile pattern and should fit under nearly all free float handguards. The slot for the pin should not interfere with the installation of other gas blocks.
