Okay I just finished building my first AR-15. Its an A3 flat top upper. Here's the problem. The front sight post is in the way of seeing the red dot on target. How do I remove the front site? It came on the barrel. |

You could always pick up a riser with quick release which would allow your red dot to "see" over the front sight, then you can pick up a rear BUIS which IMHO would be needed if this is gonna be your go-to rifle. Of course once you do this you're screwed, it's all down hill from here. You'll need a rail system to attach all the bells and whistles to

The main purpose of this gun is target shooting and bunny blasting. Thats a good idea on the riser. I'll have to see if they have one at the range today when I go to break in the barrel. Its not intented to be a defense or go-to gun. I have a 10mm S&W for that. :) |
THAT is the problem, not the front sight. You bought an optic which was not designed to be used on an AR. Go buy a 1/2" riser (YHM sells them) and you're problem will be gone (and you won't have to hack up your rifle). |

Do you think wally world carries them? I'm heading to the range today and really want to get this thing broke in. Maybe I'll call the range and see if they have one. Edit: also is there a way to remove the little inner post in the front sight? Thats what is blocking the reddot. |
