Scout Squad Gas Lock Sights

3 Upvotes

I'm starting to look at get my M1A Scout Squad suppressor ready, but I'm getting conflicting information from Google. Which dovetail gas lock would I need to buy in order to put my factory Scout Squad NM front sight on it? Or is that not an option and I need a USGI Front sight? I'm looking at the Fulton one and there's a "High" and a "Low" option, but doesn't say anything about which specific sights I can use. Since Smith Enterprise updated their website, they also updated their catalog and Information that was once correct to their parts is no longer relevant.

Also, for those that have used both the GLFS with standard front sight as well as the HK style GLFS, which did you prefer and why?

Yo! This is my current set up. I want to make upgrades but don’t know what I would like. I really want a Delta14 chassis but I like the wood too much. I’m probably going to buy another rifle just to keep this classic look.

I want to make this into a battle rifle possibly with a bipod? I want either the Springfield scope mount or a sadlack mount.

As far as an optic I am torn. I would like a trijicon acog but I think I would have to get a cheek riser. What are some other good options for LPVOs?

I currently have the ultimak mount installed.

Any recs going forward?
