Hey there...
Thinking about purchasing a S&W M&P 15 MOE (Dark Earth)...

Quick questions...

Feedback on the following optic:  EOTech 557.G23FTS...  How well would this fit on this rifle?  Any need to add a quad rail... (in order to move the optic foreward)?  Any other suggestion as to a nice holo sight & magnifier...?  Also, w/the this optic, any suggestion as to how well the flip down rear & factory post sights will align through the EOTech...?

On another note..., any suggestions as to a manufacturer for a quad rail set-up (color: Sand/Dark Earth)...

Thanks in advance for any and all information.  Greatly appreciated.

You should have plenty of room on the flat top to accommodate the EO and magnifier. The 557 is designed so that the front battery compartment can extend past the flat top rail and "hang" over the handguard.

If your looking for a FF quad rail I know that TROY makes one in  FDE.

Thanks for the reply...  I was hoping that would be the case...  Really would like to keep the weapon as close to factory as I can...

With that being said..., I am thinking about a tactical light set-up w/the Elzetta gear (ZFH1500 Post Mount & ZFLM60 Light) as well as their ZSS1500 front sling attachment)...  I plan on 2 point sling, but would need a rear sling attachment (for the S&W M&P 15 MOE Stock)...,  any suggestions to a rear sling attachment that would attach cleanly & look somewhat factory...?

Thanks again for any and all input.

Another thought...  What is available for me to attach a rail to just the underside of the factory handguard...?

I figure if I could at least have the rail @ the underside of the handguard (for grip & laser), then I would still show the factory appearance @ the sides & top for the guards.

Thanks again;

Daniel Defense, GG&G as well as others make side sling loop attachment points that are direct replacements for your end plate.
