    Default Front sight for M&P 15/22

    Hi guys. What front sight are you using with the standard rear sight that came with the rifle?

    Thanks.

    I ditched my front and rear iron sights in favour of a 4x magnified optic.

    The SW front sight is pretty solid in all honesty.

    I have used a Magpul, Magpul knock off, Unity Tactical Fusion knock off, UTG fixed, UTG folding.

    I have a set of 45 degree offsets for close range but last competition I shot with only the fixed 4x and was 2 lowest points down in the match so don't have the 45s any more.

    Sorry for the hijack, the more and more I hear and see 15-22's, the more I need one.

    That is by far the most random assortment of colours on a 15-22.

    Still running a set of MBUS on mine. It's pretty decent at short ranges. I'd imagine an optic of sorts would be much better. Depends on what you want to do with your 15-22.

    It has had a colourful history. Tan Crane stock and tan A2 pistol grip, tan KAC rail covers and tan light, tan Troy stubby VFG. FDE MOE stock, rail ladders, MBUIS, AFG2 and cut down RVG, with a black 9P. My daughter has started shooting it so when I saw the pink MOE I had to. Still wanting a pink pistol grip and preferably VFG but DSG didn't have when I was there.

    The FDE MOE fits the smaller hands better than even the shaved A2 or the UPG 16 so the FDE MOE is back on. The tan 1 cell is lighter than the 3 cell 9P. The pink stock and pink ladders are just because.

    Besides it goes well with my pink holster and pink rifle bag.

    Hehehe awesome.



    Mine came like this. I'll probably steal the popup sights from my NEA for time being.

    Another question is where does one buy bulk .22 ammo at a decent price. This rifle makes doppies pretty rapidly...
