Anyone know sites to buy a threaded .223 barrel w/o iron sights in the $100s-$200s? I've been looking but not much luck.
Thanks

I've never seen a barrel with iron sites. Usually you just buy the barrel and build around that. Something like this:

The front sight, which also acts as the gas block on many models.

I guess this is for an AR15 build? If so, remember to get an "F-Marked" front sight base if you are going to runa flat top upper.

No irons only glass?
Flip-ups?
FSB?

It's tehnically the front sight base and houses the front sight.
