Yes, it’s possible to remove the FSB. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=226782 |

OK; the FSP (post) just screws out. Just use whatever you use to adjust it with and back it out. Watch out for the spring. If you talking about the whole "A-frame" front sight base it's a bit more involved. This:  or this:

Lot's of stuff.... www.bravocompanyusa.com/Front-Sight-Base-s/71.htm www.bravocompanyusa.com/Gas-Block-s/44.htm Where are you heading with this project? (purpose of the weapon) Do you want it out of the way for an optic? Do you need a front sight at all? |
 No Irons!!! I agree the sleek look with no front sight is nice just not sure is something I would do. - If you replace the gas block make sure you do it right with the right tools as that is a critical part of the gas system. Jack that up and your rifle will not run. Bushmaster and I'm sure others as well make an upper with no front sight.  I'll assume that is the look your trying to achive. Good luck with your project. |

Troy Mnfg. makes one that is low profile enough to fit under hanguards for $45. http://www.troyind.com/shop/images/lowprofile150.jpg http://www.troyind.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=52 |
