[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 243798, member: 10414"] You are correct the front sight is also the gas block. You will be happy to know however that you can replace it your self with quit a bit of ease. All you need to do is knock out the 3 pins on the front sight post with a punch and hammer. A lot of guys say you need a block to work on but I never used one a hockey puck works just as well. First you have to remove the flash hider, handguards and upper from the lower. 2nd you have to knock out the pin that holds the gas tube in the front sight from left to right and then take out the two pins that hold the block to the barrel from left to right as well. Be carfull try not to mar the pins cause you will want to reuse them they should come out easy. After you have all the pins out you should be able to wiggle the sight post forward off the barrel. If it sticks give it a small tap with your hammer if you have a dead blow or lead hammer thats even better. Ough ya put the puck or a pice of wood under the front sight post as you tap the pins out. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
