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

Expert Answer
A
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.
