I want to put a magnified scope on my S&W M&P15a (front post sight and rear Troy folding sight).

I would appreciate any recommendations on a mount to raise the scope above the front sight.

Thanks in advance for any help!

you will have an impossible time getting a proper cheek weld with such a setup.  your accuracy will suffer as a result.

get a std 1/3 co-witness mount for your scope, and ignore the slight blur at the bottom.  the next step will be to get a low profile gas block and a rail.  if you have a permanently attached brake or flash hider, you can always cut the top off of the FSB, which was a popular approach before all of the low profile gas blocks came about.  carefully dremel it down, and use one of the 'smith's surface treatments to clean up the shiny parts.
