I have a flat top upper with a standard front sight, which of course is in the way of a scope's line of sight. I don't like sawing parts apart; not much resale value there, so with all the gas blocks advertised, which is best? I'd like to have a sling swivel.

The range of prices is vast.  Get the one that you like.

Armalite clamp on. Has provisions for mounting standard GI swivel. I have used two of them, one carbon steel and the other stainless. Top quality!

My wife and I just went through this same thing..below is the thread that I started.

Not to long ago we replaced her handguard with some drop in YHM's.  So just this weekend I bought a YHM single rail gas block and a handguard cap, so that i can replace the fsb.

Check out PRi: Precision Reflex folding front sight/gas black.

Pricey but excellent.

Just push out three pins on your exsisting FSB, and replace it with one of these.

I appreciate all the replies. The amount of options is staggering; and it seems like I could end up with enough picatinny rails to mount all the gun accessories I own, and then wonder where the barrel is hidden! I'll start with lean and clean.
