Thanks
No, you can't just "remove the sights" on the regular Sport II... That fixed front sight is also the gas block. If you remove it, you have to replace it with another gas block, either a low profile type, or a railed one like on the optics ready.

There is no need to remove the front sight on the Sport II, unless you plan to use less than 3 - 4 x magnification.
