I mounted a scope but the front sight sits up so high its in the scope, can I remove that front sight post ? It has a gas tube in it ? How can that be removed ?

Hacksaw will do ... also like above said.. above 3x or so most dont see in in FOV

Quoted:
thank you for the reply's - I am going with a gas block installation, or I may chop my existing one off like the You tube video you provided so generously thanks Well If you're going to go that far, you might as well get a free float rail too instead of polymer handguards. |
| What kind of mount are you using? You need to buy a mount designed for ARs. The cross hairs should be right in line with the top of the front sight post and as stated before it just disappears when you look through the scope. Even guys running a 1x optic get used to the "co-wittness" of the iron sight and the red dot. |

I bought one of these

I thank you for helping me I am not going to cut off the front sight now. later |

So you've looked through that and you see the front sight? That really shouldn't be. I'd try to get my money back. You bought a good high quality rifle, don't put no name Chinese optics on it. That set up looks way to gimmicky. I'm not even sure if Chinese green lasers are safe.
Read the 14th post ( by pursuitSS) in this thread. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_20/679755_Sighting_in_my_new_AR_15_green_laser.html For not much more money you could buy a vortex optic and maybe a weaver SPR mount. You can buy risers in different sizes if you want to raise it up a little. Also you should read this section to learn about optics. http://www.ar15.com/forums/f_3/18_Optics--Mounts--and-Sights.html |
