Can anyone recommend 0.625 diameter FSB options?

I have seen PRI --> http://www.precisionreflex.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=186687&CAT=4292

But would really like something like Hahn Precision in 0.625 (only comes in 0.750) if anyone knows of one out there --> http://shop.hahn-precision.com/Front-Sight-Split-AGLR0103.htm

Also, potentially interested in a standard A2 FSB in 0.625 if anyone knows where they are in stock.

Thanks.

I just did a 20" pencil with a .625 base. I used a Yankee Hill YHM 9386A, easy install, great quality, you can then choose whatever sight you want.

Thanks. I like that idea as well - this is going on a 14.5" barrel with a pinned FH, so it would be nice to have something that could be switched out if it somehow breaks (unlike the PRI). What front sight did you choose? I am wondering what would work with an extended length handguard, meaning several like the Troy gas block offering look like they may not fit into an extended length handguard.

Daniel Defense has a .625 gas block. Just installed it on mine a few weeks ago.

The YHM will not slide over a pinned FH, it's a one piece so you're no-go there. I used an LMT flip up front, secondary to a Vortex Strikefire. A pinned FH cuts your options way down.

It's not pinned yet, fortunately

Just make sure you get the 9386A, the 9386B is .750. Don't ask me how I know...
