I purchased my 12" barrel and realized ...DUH.... there is no front site.  Other than sending it back for a front site install, are there any other options for aftermarket sites?  

Thanks

I have not seen any aftermarket front sites yet, but I am sure they will come along some time.  You dont have to send it back, just order the site and install it, dont have mine yet, but it looks pretty easy.

How's about ordering one from ARES and installing it yourself?

I've seen guy mount a front sight on the hand guard.  I don't know which ones work with the difference in the height of the top cover and handguard.

If you're worried about a change of POI from barrel to barrel, it wouldn't be any different than using optics.
