AR556 Front Sight

[Goss]

Greetings,
My newly issued AR556 has a solid front sight that is pinned differently than a standard AR15 front sight. Is there anyone that's making a fold down replacement gas block / front sight?
Thanks,
Goss

I haven't seen a Ruger-only gas block... you may be able to use a railed block like this (no pins to attach):

Any fold-down sight would then work.

Good luck.

I might be able to use a Yankee Hill with some machining work too.
Thanks,

Put an inexpensive reflex sight on it. ARs are meant for quick target acquisition and firing, not sighted.

Add a 2nd to the add a red dot, sight it in, and enjoy your new play pretty by shooting it.
