Fixed front sight permenant removal
I have a Stag 2T with a fixed front sight and a Bushnell TRS-25 red dot.
My 7 year son old claims that seeing the front sight inside the red dot is distracting (the purpose of the rifle is so he can hunt this fall).
I don't think I can simply remove the front sight and leave it that way since the gas tube goes into it.
What would be necessary to remove the front sight (permenantly) and have a funuctional "optics ready" appearence?
:help: Thanks.
P.S. I would rather not cut off the existing front sight, just in case that is suggested.
