A2 front sight for pencil barrel

[bushmaster06]

I have a Bushmaster pencil barrel that came with a shaved A2 front sight block and would like to try to find an intact front sight block. My hope is that someone has a take-off in their stash that's already drilled for taper pins. I'm cheap and dont want to pay to have one installed with a virgin FSB.

Lmk if you don't find something local and I can dig through my stash. I know several are already set scre drilled/tapped.
What ID? I am guessing .750
Problem is, most tapir, taper wateverthefk pin holes don't always match alignment. You Usually end up having to do set screw with drilled dimples, in my experience.

The gas block journal is .625. I know it’s a long shot, but you never know.

I’ll send ya a picture tomorrow, it’s not perfect, has been neutered, no bayo lug no sling swivel, can use pins or it’s drilled / tapped for set screws on the bottom too.

I'm pretty sure what you are looking for an A1 front sight. The M-16A1 had the 'pencil barrel.

The sights themselves are pretty easy to find. I’m looking for one that’s already been drilled and reamed to see if it’ll work with a barrel I have.

If that's for a .625 gas block journal I'd be interested in taking it off of your hands.
