Good Morning;

I'd like to change the Front Sight on my RRA Tactical Entry to a folding BUS. I managed to bend the sight last summer, I really like the Magpul ones recently mentioned here, big question is when will they be available? realize I may need to go with a set of Troy folding sights.

I have a Daniel Defense Omega Rail in place now, plan on adding an Aimpoint T-1 on a Larue mount before next summer. I'd like to have a good set of folding sights in place to use with the Aimpoint.

Anyway, looking for gunsmith recommendations to remove my old front sight?, and if there is anything else I should consider with making this change.

All comments and input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

How'd you do that?

Really stupid on my part, needed to adjust sight, did not have the correct tool, thought I could use pin punch and needle nose pliars, learned that lesson.

Picked up two of the sight tools at Knob Creek, maybe best to just replace the post?

I really want to have the best iron sights to support the Aimpoint T-1, and vice versa.

Thanks,

Bob
