I got my first Colt 6920 for xmas.  I'm thinking of getting an Aimpoint Pro.  Will I need to install a new rear sight when I remove the carry handle and can I use the current front sight?  Any recommendations would be appreciated as to which sight to get etc.

Thanks!

If you want back up irons, in case something happens to your battery powered electronic optic, then yes. You will need a BUIS.

But it is not mandatory.

ETA- and yes, you can still use the front sight.

IMO OP back up irons sights are mandatory, so just get some Magpul mbus if your tight on money.

They're not mandatory on a range toy. Not even close. I don't own an AR without them, but that doesn't mean everyone needs them.

I'd save for something more substantial than MBUS too. I have them on my 22 lr AR, but prefer troy or KAC on centerfire guns.Just personal preference.
