I'm not aware of any provision for a front sight on the Talon (where would you put it?). Rear sights are no problem, nor are optics, but until you solve the front sight problem, you're stuck. I'm not sure if you can install a FF RAS on a Talon (I kind of doubt it), but if you could, then you could get the Knights flip-up front sight that bolts to the front of the RAS rail.

You could mount the KAC front sight Troy mentioned directly to the flat top. This will work, but not very well. Do you have a pic of the upper (or a link) that I could see to get an idea of what you are trying to do.

I have one of the KAC 9mm SD uppers.It is very similar to yours but it does use a FF RAS.I came with KAC's front and rear sights.If your can will fit inside a FF RAS you can use KAC's sights.I know that you can put a M4 RAS on your upper.If it mounts secure enough you might try KAC's front sight on it.SJR556.

I believe the M4 RIS version will fit on your Talon. Another board member (drfcolt?) has done this.

I believe you will have to remove the heat shield for the RAS to fit over the supressor. There was a 2002 article in "special weapons" magazine in which the author did just that.
