Find a clamp on lo-profile block (looks like a straight tube ontop for the gas tube). Reason I say clamp on, is that some gas blocks won't be predrilled for pins to hold it on the barrel. If you can find one that is, it might not be properly aligned with the barrel.

Its your baby, do what you want. I wouldn't hesitate to do it if it was something I was considering. |

When I first got an Eotech, I decided that I didn't like the FSB being in the sight picture, so I cut it off and mounted a BM folding sight that clamped around the gas block that was left. I absolutely hated it.

If you have a lot of trigger time with an AR, you would be surprised how will you could shoot using just the front sight.
Depending on your use of the carbine, I would (personally) leave it on just in case the ACOG failed (and was removed). |

If you have a mil spec one, I'll trade you. I just cut down, shaped and parked a FSB. No cold blue here. Turned out great.
Turns out CMMG FSB's are not mil spec. The slots in the barrel for the tapered pins are not slots, they are holes. I think they drill the FSB and barrel at the same time (with the FSB mounted). I now need a milspec, uncut FSB and I have a modded one I can't use.
