[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2323978, member: 8377"] A rail is the most versatile method for mounting a light. If you dont want to mess with removing the gas block there are several manufacturers that make rail systems that can be installed without that hassle. Of those I recommend a Knights Armament RAS. they are sturdy and well thought out. they can be had as seconds or used for $100 to $150. Im sure there are others, but I have no direct experience with them so I will reserve comment. here is a vid describing the install of a RAS. [media=youtube]DoIX2WdgSNw[/media] As far as a rear sight is concerned. pretty much any full size back up iron sight (BUIS) will work. for the budget minded I would look at the Magpul MBUS sight. they can be had for about $50 or $60. Or, you can drop some more coin on a Troy BUIS which are pretty much bullet proof for around $100 to $110. There are a multitude of BUIS on the market in fixed or folding. Stick with a name brand and you will do fine., just make sure it is a full size model so the height is correct. you probably dont need an assembly tool to build your lower, but the process is easier with one.
