Haven't seen a comparison pic like this (or maybe I haven't found it) But, thought I'd post it for all to see. Sorry about the crappy pics...

So did you remove the front sight post and use the Troy sights?
I will... I just took a break from wrapping Christmas gifts to post a couple of pics!
I can't locate the picture right this moment, but in the past, Stryker had some Troy Micros on a Scar that had no trace of a front post or dovetail-like mounting block.
He may have had the gas block ground and painted back to normal of all the factory front sight evidence.
It was actually pretty slick.

Nice... I'd sure like to see that pic sometime.

Plenty of shots of the front sight dovetail machined off in this video.

That should be the one.
I have been trying to sell a set of Troy micro FDE sights for a while now. Maybe I should use them on the SCAR instead now. I just never thought of removing the front sight before.
They're installed... here's a pic! :D

Anyone have tips on the process of machining off the mount for the front sight similarly to the video above?
Remove the front sight then. You don't need to machine it off.
i think damage industries makes a little rail piece that can take its place?? Ive seen pics before it looks sweet but i here getting the sight off can be a challenge.
I wish someone would make an aftermarket gas block for the 17 with not front sight.
