I don't listen to any of the high speed low drag silliness. I originally wanted a flattop because I figured I'd scope it and be done with it. Now I've come full circle and just want a set of quality iron sights. I have pretty much settled on using the A2 handle but I need a good front sight and it doesn't need to fold either. It looks like Armalite has a clamp on (with bolts) front sight gas block and its forged steel. This might be a good option but my leaning is toward what will give me the strongest front sight with the least amount of work. I don't need to complicate things or the rifle will sit in the safe or ill go trade it for another 629 or SBH, click the sight till they are on and call it done:)

- IMO, the original M16 sights are rugged and all the add -
