Already bought the rifle. It seems pretty well liked for what it is so not sure retarded is how most would describe it. Can't I just mount a small section of rail on the handguard? -Emt1581 Quote HistoryQuoted:

You need a gas block height front sight which will cost $$$. Just replace the whole thing with a YHM folding front sight/gas block or don't buy a retarded rifle in the first place.

EDIT: I see a bunch of options for folding and non-folding "gas block height" front sights. Most are cheaper than the Mbus pro front sight. This doesn't seem to be a huge issue or am I missing something? Thanks -Emt1581 Quote HistoryQuoted:

If so, PM me - I may be able to hook you up with a front sight from my parts bin. |

Thanks -Emt1581 FYI, as I recall the Armalite AR10 gas block front sight used a different height than "regular" gas block front sights, so while it's a .308 AR watch out for that potential pitfall. |

But recently couldnt find anything and nothing saying the 308 was to be avoided. But plenty said they were good to go and the same happened when I started a thread asking for direct experience. I have irons on all my ar rifles so definitely need a set of them. But truth be told ive been eyeing up the ATN Thor hd for a primary optic. Just started researching that though. -Emt1581 |

Ended up buying a 2" section of Magpul rail and a set of MBUS. I figure I'll mount the rail on the front of the stock handguard and put the MBUS on that.
