Why do you want a folding front sight?

You could go with a bolt on fold down like the YHM front sight as long as your handguards are free floating.  I believe there are several other makers as well.

IMO if you are not going to go with a longer handguard, that would be the option I would pic.  I do not like a railed gas block.  A shaved down block with a rail mounted front sight would not look good either.

For reference: my middy with a YHM

Tons of flip up front sights out there. just avoid UTG.  Google or E-bay flip up front sight to see what you like.

if you take that front sight off you need a 1/16 punch they are directional. i put a new quad gas block on mine with mbus flip ups. also that gas tube has a pin in it. thats a pain in the ass.
