I have this 16" carbine from CMMG which came with a quad rail and a fixed front sight. I have the gun set up pretty close to the way I like it except for the front sight. I would like to replace that fixed front sight with a smaller folding front sight. I would like them to be out of the way unless they are needed. How much work am I getting myself into to replace that fixed front sight, and if I take it off do I have to replace it with a cap or something? It appears as though that front sight is largely responsible for holding on the front handguard, though I could be quite mistaken about that. Is this even something I should worry about, or is it going to be more work than it's worth?
