If you decide to cut down the front sight block here is a video on YouTube showing how to do it. This video was made by Surf, who is one of our members here.

no the block wasn't on backwards. got the sight all cut down and reassembled to make sure it worked. it did. no to disassemble and find some product for color.
The best results I have had on a gas block came from using Brownells Teflon/Molly oven cure finish. The dark park gray is a close match to the original finish.

I've got several with FSB's I cut down to install a longer rail. When i do, as it's covered by tube, I just use flat black header paint.

I watched the video on youtube, while the end result worked ok, wouldn't a bandsaw and belt sander have given a better finish with more control on where the cut are made?
