[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3176481, member: 9374"] If you have the A2 front sight, you're best off using drop-in handguards, in my opinion. You CAN remove the A2 sight and put it back on, but I would recommend either drop in plastic or higher-end MLOK handguards, personally. Or put on a free float and add an additional sight. Just from my experience, A2 sights can be a PITA. Nothing wrong with them, just those tapered pins can be tough. I've got the blocks and punches to do it, though. <eidt> I may have misunderstood. If you want to remove the front sight and replace, it is tougher with the A2, but that's ok. The tapered pins float out from left to right and can be a bugger. Much easier if you have the proper block for it. Then, the holes left in the barrel can be unsightly, so a longer handguard covering a low-pro gas block is really nice in that case. [/QUOTE]
