Here ya go. Everything you need should be in this list of threads. I used the orange search button at the top of the page to find it, so give that a shot next time you have a question. Just stay away from the plastic front sights since it will be going on the gas block.
Thanks for all the info
Why would you put the front sight on something that gets heated to several hundred degrees?
Well, optics & electonics FAIL period..its Murphy's Law.....the DPMS Oracle does not have a Quad rail, and that's why its called a Backup site.
Whatever sight you use, make sure it is designed to be mounted on gas block due to the height difference.

I believe that what Blemont is getting at is that the front BUIS could get very hot when mounted on the gas block. Be careful that you either haven't fired too many rounds, or are wearing a glove before you attempt to flip it up. The other issue, as Iraqgunz mentioned, is getting the front BUIS at the right height when mounted to the Oracle's gas block rail.
Not sure why this is asked in the "beyond 5.56 forum?" As far as I can tell the Oracle only comes in 5.56.
DPMS advertises an Oracle in .308/7.62.
