That's just how I wanted it done. Bert parkerized it all when he was done. I basically took a standard mid gas barrel and made a dissipator type setup.

I'll toss up some pictured this evening. It really turned out great.

If you reamed out the sight base it might work. Just not sure how much meat would be left. I had Bert properly install mine with taper pins.
