[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1469666, member: 229"] Well, I didn't exactly say that. You either need: 1. a gas-block-mounted front sight (either flip-up or fixed), or 2. an A2 front sight (which is probably going to be more work, because most A2 sights are installed via tapered pin which requires a jig and notching the bottom of the barrel). You can find an A2 set-screw or clamp-style FSB, but they're not as secure, or 3. a mid-length Quad rail, and a low-profile gas-block (this is my favorite option) and any standard-height rail-mounted BUIS. Either of these options will work with whatever rear Iron you choose (or you could forgo Irons altogether and just get an optic with etched glass). That's the beauty of AR-15s, there is no correct answer because you can mix/match in any number of ways. [/QUOTE]
