    To replace A2 front site on my mp15. I currently have a low pro gas block. I just don't have the proper tools to do so.

    I'm confused which is not hard to do lately, are you going to install the low pro GB ?
    I'll be around some this weekend, call me Friday and we'll do it.

    I had a Troy MRF free float rail on it.
    Had to remove the rail and put MOE handguards on for a OPS416 piston system for a T&E
    When installing the piston system I didn't have a front A2 sight when the delta ring and other components were place back on the rifle. I acquired a A2 site and pins from a member here.

    So basically I need the low profile gas block removed, and the A2 site reinstalled and pinned in place. Its that, or if you want to mill on a 230 rail system to fit over a piston.. I'll call you Friday, unless you show up at the lunch.

    I'd just buy a clamp/bolt on FSB with a flip front site, or a gas block with a top rail that you can mount a flip-up on, but thats me :o. YHM, Vltor, and a bunch of other companies make them, and you can put one on yourself.
    Chances are that the holes drilled in the FSB you got are not going to line up with the ones in your barrel, as they are drilled and reamed at the same time during installation on the barrel.
