You would need to move the front one to the railed handguard (assuming your rail is solid). The gas block mounting is too low and it will melt the front sight if you get it too hot. You can read that on MagPul's MBUS website under "specs": http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG245/45

Cannot be mounted to a railed gas block due to excess heat issues. Front MBUS must be mounted to a railed fore end on the same plane as the receiver rail.

Hey guys I have to admit that I was wrong for what I posted. The guy sent me a PM trying to help me out and I took offense to it. I was wrong and shoulda taken what he said as help. My apologizes to you good sir

The thread you started at AR15.com about this sure got nasty. Mods deleted several responses. I sent you a PM over there, but it looks like you did not read it yet.

I guess I never got it. I know how some forums work. I used to be on Pirate 4x4 a bunch and it was the same way. Some people are just like that. Thanks for all your help. I spent some time last night correcting all my mistakes. My only regret was the captain obvious comment I made.
