Has anyone else noticed the front site block/gas block on M240 or a Saw M249 has the same dove tail as the XCR?

Yep, very similar, on purpose?

Has anyone tried to put a m249 front sight on an XCR? I found one for sale and was just on wondering if it would fit on the gas block dovetail and line up correctly with any of the rear buis on the market. If it does work I think it would make for interesting setup.

Hmm interesting observation, where did you find one for sale? I have only seen the ones made for airsoft

I found it here https://secure.longmountain.com/product_info.php?products_id=959&osCsid=f28080c6bd61f3eb1da2fc41788d8e51. I ordered one, hopefully I'll have it in a few days.

Thanks for this topic, RobArm seems to be slow on this one too. I commend your curiosity and ingenuity. I wonder what those other parts beside the sight post are.

I got an airsoft front sight but the dovetail was too big and it seemed like it would be too tall. Hope this one works out for you. I was thinking of asking a machinist to see if he could make one up for me. PS do not buy anything from airsoftgi it did not come with a locking screw and they do not do refunds i.e. therefore they suck.
