I recently bought a Tactical Operator 2 and love the gun.  However, the front sight/gas block combo has three sling loops on it and I find obnoxious.  I don't use a sling on this rifle so that are constantly flopping back and forth.  Can these be removed?  If so, how?  
Thanks

if it is like mine you just take a punch and knock out the roll pin

The RRA flip front sight has riveted sling loops, I got annoyed with them and drilled out the rivets.  If you change your mind new rivets are $1 from RRA, same rivet as the standard FSB from what I could see.

I think mine are going to get drilled this weekend.  Why they put three of them flopping around on the sight I will never know.  They are really annoying.

just use a punch and they pop right out - much cleaner than drilling

Punch worked for mine also.

Good to know.  Will give it a try tonight.
