I bought the GF a Optic for her AR-15, the only problem is the A2 sight on her S&W M&P interferes. I have been researching the flip front sights with the gas blocks. I know very little about these style of rifles, I am more of a M1A and Garand shooter. For those of you who own these type of rifles which do you think would be better, A flip sight with Gas block or a Railed gas block and separate flip up sight?
Thank you

I personally would replace the A2 sight and gas block and just buy a set of MBUS flip ups. I've done this and also use a YHM flip up front sight/gas block combo. The hard part these days is finding the parts to do either. I have also cut the front sight base right where it meets the gas tube port, filed it flat and cold blued it. Made the gun look like a Bushmaster ORC.

Cut it off, smooth it up and hit it with black permanent marker.

I personally would replace the A2 sight and gas block and just buy a set of MBUS flip ups. This is what I did. Put a low profile gas block, full length rail and flip up front sight.

What optic?never had a problem with a2 FSB actually prefer as it cowitness with red dot and not seen by scopes. it's most rugged fool proof way of having front sight post.its pinned to barrel best method of a front sight far as durability. Sounds like your working around a non existent problem remember our military has used them like this a long time.much more rugged than free float rail or front flip sight What the man said - I use it as cowitness with a vortex red dot and a scope doesn't show that its there. There isn't a problem to fix.

I whacked a few off because I no longer had a rear sight and didn't want the extra weight or a snaggly doohickey up there to catch on vines and such. At the time you could put another one on for pennies if there was some reason to.
