I have an M&P sport A.R. 15. Would this work with that fire arm?

Expert Answer

Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on January 06, 2023

The Midwest Industries AR-15/M16 SLH Free Float Slim Line Handguard will work with an M&P15 Sport 2 as long as it does not have a front sight gas block. If it does have a front sight gas block the gas block will need to be replaced with a low profile gas block.

Will this fit the Aero Precision AR15 M4E1 Enhanced Upper Receiver?

Expert Answer

No. The Aero M4E1 has the Handguard mounting platform forged into the receiver, making it compatible with Aero Precision Enhanced and Quantum Series handguards but also fits most BAR-system handguards.

The CMMG MK47 series is not compatible with Mil-Spec AR15 handguards according to CMMG. CMMG states the MK47 platform is compatible with DPMS pattern AR10 handguards.
