hello,
i need some help picking the right sights.
my dad and i both just bought s&w m&p15's. they will be here monday.  ive allready managed to get my dad a carry handle (its what he wanted) from one of my marine buddies.
so...
my dad needs a front sight. What can we buy for a front sight that will mount on the gas block (its even with the flat top) and be even with the sight on the carry handle?  my dad doesnt want to spend alot.


2nd.  is for me...
i really like the magpul buis.  i have heard i cant put them on the gas block because they will melt...
i was looking at getting something like this:

it gives me a rail on the top of my handguard.  will that rail be even with my flat top so i could put a magpul on the flattop, and a magpul on the handguard?
or what else would you guys sugges for a set of buis that will not cost an arm and a leg?

lastly: how is this?

using the quick release, could i take it on and off and not lose zero?  i want to easily have the option of iron sights or a zoomed scope.  ill be shooting mostly 100 yards or less.
this is the gun:
