Help a dummy out!

[massBRS]

So I'm building my LTC class A license holding, AR15-hating father an AR15 in 22lr for xmas. Because ar15 and because of the lulz. I bought a complete upper and needed to remove the bayo lug. I accidentally dropped and broke the cheapo front sight (faux gas block) and need another. I've called all the local shops and nobody stocks them anymore. I went to Northeast Arms yesterday, but they closed early. Anyone have any idea where I might be able to find one this close to xmas without having to order online? Happy to pay top dollar for used take-offs. I'm in the newburyport area, but willing to drive. Help a guy out? do it for the lulz.

You need something with a sight or just something to hold the handguard in place? I have a big honkin' railed gasblock one. Weighs about ten pounds and is designed to be secured by set screws. If you run out of ammo, you could always put it in a sock and beat someone to death with it, lol.

Is it a flat top?

Just buy a cheapo red dot for now, and worry about a front sight later.

Good advice. Bushnell's on sale at various places for around $50.

Give Dennis at First Defense Firearms a call. He might have one. Check his website for days/hours he's open.

Something with a sight - yes. I appreciate the offer of the railed block, but I'm trying to get two birds with one stone in regard to the block and sight. Thanks anyway!

Just your standard ar15 front sight/gas block. Ideally one that has tension screws, but beggars can't be choosers!

I might just have to do this.

Trying to get this thing wrapped up and under the tree so I'm trying to avoid shipping.

I'll give him a shot tomorrow. Thanks!
