I know some have asked about this before, but is there a way to order an 20" Stealth Barrel without the 3 dimples on the bottom for the set screw gas block?

This would be for people who plan on pinning an A2 front sight to their barrel.

This would be nice

This would be a great option.

I've got a very special project in mind, but it would be nice not to have the three dimples between the taper pins.

The Stealth 16" DMR upper comes with an A2 sight.  Granted, it is a 16" barrel, but can any DMR owners chime in to let us know if the barrels are smooth between the taper pins?

I read a thread awhile back where someone drilled out and tapped the hole on the bottom of an FSB that is used to drill the gas port so a set screw could be used with a dimple.  That should secure it enough to drill another hole for another set screw and dimple.

That may work, but what I'm talking about is a smooth barrel without dimples so that a taper pins GB can be installed.

Just checking to make sure we are moving forward with this.

A stealth 20" would make for an exceptionally accurate A4 clone. Sign me up! Wish LaRue would open a custom shop.

I sent my barrel out to White Oak to have their FSB installed.  Notice the bottom set screw that fits into the Larue divot.

I'm not going to disassemble my 20" rifle to look, but I don't think the dimples would preclude drilling for taper pins.

Even if one of the holes extended through the dimple, so long as the bit doesn't wander it shouldn't matter.

Caveat:  I am not a machinist.

Nobody makes a front sight with set screws to go in the dimples?

I'm glad I found This thread bc I was intending on building an A4 clone with a Larue barrel

It can be done. I'm sure ADCO can hook it up.

I'll look for the company (cant think of it right now) but I have a 20" stealth and ended up going with a "clamp on" A2 post. Put about 1000 rounds through the rifle so far and no issues

Not a fan of that method of attaching a FSB.  If you cannot pin then an Armalite FSB is what you seek.   No bayo lug but under the circumstances who gives a fuck.

Its to late for the boots, save your watch!

Used the same one for my A1/A2 build with a 20" Stealth barrel.
