The great thing about this was no need to knock out the gas tube pin, nor remove the flash hider. I personally would have changed out the gas block in this particular situation, but for the rugged use my friend has in mind, a cut down stock front sight with two pins was his choice.
I think I get you now. I'm having to grind the thing down to where its nearly rounded off at top and bottom with no flanges. At least I did to fit the top of it up in the BCM rail. This will be for a Midwest G3 so I doubt there will be much room in that top channel on this one either.
