Non railed handguard. Front site options??

[Joseph Bonavita]

Hello!

I really like the fit and feel of a smooth round floating handguard that ends near the muzzle. Ive seen them with no rails. My quest is does anybody have any ideas of mounting a front site some how? I know have it short and keep a pinned a2 post but i want it to the muzzle. Thanks guys n gals!!!

I just accepted that I will only be able to go with a Red Dot on the rail as the only source of a sight..

There are barrel sights out there. Fixed and flip.

I’m a huge fan of JP rifle handguards. They do offer a little rail section to mount a front sight.
