For those of you that have one, is the FSB metal or plastic. Just want to know if I would be able to remove that little dovetail filler and install a Classic type sight on it.
Thanks! |

The FSB or "gas block" is metal, but you can't just remove the little dove tail insert and put just any 1913 picatinny rigid or flip-up front sight on the FSB. The 1913 rail is not continuous from front to back, as it contours at the rear of the FSB and blends into it. From what I gather, you have to have the Sig front hooded sight to mount on it.
Good luck ordering it, as they have one technician/salesman answering the phone and I've waited over 30 minutes to get through. You can leave a message for them to call you back, but they don't (not any time soon, at least). Sig service sucks. |

Just installed one of these on my 522:
Front Sight The problem is an inexpensive rear sight. For now, my STS-081 co-witnesses fine with the front sight above. |

REALLY like the SIG ones, but unless they fall off a truck, it's not happening. i can buy a whole gun for $200 or a used good optic. sheesh SIG. not sure how S&W MP 15-22 can come with BUIS and their price point, it's a damn fine .22LR, but they do. how long should i wait for my "free rails, and optic coupon" and bolt recall SIG? ;) Holo |
