I have a barrel that has had the sight Post removed. I done have the original post. Can another shot post be installed on it?

Yes.  Install a new front sight post, pin, etc. Make the base of the front sight post flush with the base of the FSB.  Then, go to the range and adjust your sights to zero.

I guess what I meant to say was the sight base. I have a barrel that the original sight base was removed and I don't  have it . Can a new sight base be installed ?

Sure but will require a little skill.   Used FSB will more than likely not line up with current drillings.  It's been covered plenty.  Search for FSB install.  Haven't looked in a while but believe there is a tutorial in build it yourself.  Many times you can ream or re-drill without to much problem.  Labor for this usually runs $50-100 less parts depending on who does it and then there are possible shipping costs.  Good luck!

Both Armalite and JP offer a clamp-on replacement FSB (Front Sight Base).
