[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2945098, member: 9374"] Ok, so next items. Gas blocks - they have some aluminum ones, but I went with [URL='http://www.223handguard.com/Low-Profile-Micro-Block-750-Black-for-223-556-p/gb-blck750.htm']the steel ones[/URL]. $9.50 each. They actually came with a gas tube roll pin, which I thought was pretty nice. They look just like a ton of the other ones I see out there on the market, and like a tons of the ones I have on my other rifles. You can see some light machining marks on them, and can feel them if you run your fingernail over them. You can actually see these in the pictures on the website. But to me, they're minimal. If you're going to have your low-pro gas block showing, this might matter to you - but for me, that's the point of this item - it's being hidden under a free-float rail. I don't give a shite. So I'm very pleased with them. Sights - bought some of their [URL='http://www.223handguard.com/2nd-Gen-Flip-Up-Front-Sight-Rear-Sight-Single-Pl-p/fr-sight.htm']flip-up metal sights[/URL].
