I have a 14.5" lightweight upper i bought from you guys with a perm attached FH that i changed the hand guard to a carbon fiber free float. It wasn't that big of a deal but i failed to realize that there would be no way to get the FSB off. So after cutting off the FSB i have everything installed but i now need a clamp on front sight base. I know the YHM sight will work and they make a hooded clamp on sight but i havent been able to find it in .625 I want one that has the HK style hooded sight and the PRI is my first choice. So my question is will the PRI fit over the FH?

If not does anybody know where i can find the YHM hooded sight in .625.

I have posted this in a few different areas but i figured you guys might know.

It won't fit over the hider.  Best bet would be either to use a clamp on .625 (YHM) or have the hider removed, barrel built, then re-attach the hider.

There's a thread in the builder section about removing a FH.

Scroll down to near the bottom of the first page.

You'll also need to get it repinned.

As Jeff has indicated this may be your best option:

www.yhm.net/store/sights.html

The issue will be finding one in .625.
