Where could I find a front sight that would pin/clamp to a .725" barrel?

.725"......or do you mean .625"?

If the diameter is really .725" and any std. .750" gasblock/front sight will work as the difference is a marginal .025"

A .625" diameter is the standard profile for lightweight barrel and the only mfg. that I know of that makes that combo is PRI (top notch gear).

I mean .725".... I would like to clamp a sight  forward of my 12" Lite rail to make a dissipator. The area for the gas block is .750". The forward area of the gas block on most barrels is turned down to .725". A gas block made for a .750" barrel will not work.

Commission a machine shop to custom manufacture one for you then.
