[ARCHIVED THREAD] - front sight

Posted: 1/11/2009 5:49:24 AM EDT

I am wanting to get a Quad RAS to put on my carbine. I am wanting to get rid of the front sight and get a long RAS with a flip up sight. My question is, has anyone ever cut the front A2 sight down to fit under a RAS instead of buying a low pro gas block? Thanks.

The tacked threads can be your friend. Don’t just scroll over them, try reading them.

I've done it, I even tried being lazy and leaving it on the upper while using a bench grinder, but to get my LaRue rail over it I had to take it off and test fit a few times, but if you use a dremel you could probably leave it on the barrel
