| I may be stupid but I am having issues installing a standard front sight base. It slides snugly over the barrel but I can't see how the pins can go in. I bent the first one trying to hammer it through and then I looked down at the hole and I don't see how the pin would go through. Too much of the barrel blocks the path. Does the barrel have to cut to accept it or am I missing something? |

Another option is a non standard FSB

| Thanks for the feedback. I just ordered one with the screws instead. Not sure what I was thinking. I remember the barrel of my other gun had the grooves but I used a railed gas block and they did not come into play. At least the fsb came off the EE and didn't cost much. :) |
