Does anyone still make a fixed gas block mounted front sight? I am looking for something like this, which appears to be out of production from YHM:

Lots of companies do. I just ordered one from PRI. (Precision Reflex Inc)  Thanks. Which one did you order? This is for mount on a gas block, rather than rail. For some reason my search ability sucks today. Edit: Also, have seen Truglo and Leapers, but hoping to avoid those |

Midwest Industries
I believe the gas block mounted site is .27" taller but I could be wrong ETA: I just seen you wanted FIXED, I know I've seen them but can't recall brands |
| They sights are one on the same. They will attach to a rail regardless of whether they are attached to a top rail or to a gas block rail. The only consideration is in picking a sight that will withstand the heat from the block. For example, a magpul MBUS sight is not recommended. I ordered This it is made from T6 6061 and will be just fine. |

The sight I linked is for a rail level with the receiver. They do make gas blocks at this level. I know I have seen other sights for lower railed blocks, but I don't remember off the top of my head. |

Try what your recommending and come back and tell me how it went zeroing your rifle. |

I have one that is the same level, exactly thesame level as my receiver. Others may be shorter, but like a said, I already corrected myself. Thanks for the exclamation marks though... |
