    What is the barrel diameter?


    If it doesnt have a provision to mount a standard FSB you may have to settle for a gas block of some sort that fits the OD of your barrel.. Or get the Od specs for the front sight base you have and pay someone to turn down the barrel so it can be put in place.

    If your sight is just spot drilled it's possible, but a clamp-on sight or Picatinny sight block is a lot easier.

    Get yourself a front sight or gas block that mounts with allen head screws. I have a few of these and they have never loosened.
