This might be a dumb question, but I need some help/ clarification. None of my AR's, 6.8 or my .300 BLK have the A2 fixed front sight. I am in the process of building a 5.56 "truck gun" something that is on the cheaper side that I don't necessarily need to worry about keeping it in pristine condition.
First question: I see some A2 sights have disclaimers that they have to be drilled for set screws and taper pins, while others don't mention anything about it. Can I assume that if it does not say one way or the other that the holes are in it? Brownells has a Daniel Defense for $14.99, but clearly states holes are not included. PSA has one for $25.00 but says nothing about having or not having holes. I do not have a drill press, I would assume that I would have a hell of a time adding holes in the sight with just a hand drill?
Second question: I also have a spare 1.75-5x32 Vortex scope sitting in the safe that I was planning on putting on this, but now that I'm thinking of going the fixed front sight route, would I be able to use the scope without the front sight interfering?
