I have the standard pinned gas block/sight on my AR15. Will these work to drive them out so I can install a railed gas block?

Nope, that's why I bought them, they did not work at all. The metal is very soft and bends very easily which ruins the tip when trying to drive the pins out. Avoid these they are a waste of money. I ended up using nail setters that I had laying around and they worked exponentially better than these punches.

Yes, there are a number of different gas blocks available for the AR 15 style rifles. The most popular is the M16A2 post sight, that also incorporates a sling ring and bayonet lug. Just google photos of M16, M16A1 or M16A2s, Also, any gunsmith can swap out any style gas block.

Yes. Exactly perfect for the F A2 front sight post. Picatinny railed gas blocks are not the same height though and you would have to use something else. It also works on Free float rails.

The sight you are looking at will only work on uppers with gas block. These are a tad taller since the gas block is slightly below the quad rail on a flat top m4. The front sight is also adjustable for elevation.

Absolutely not! I bought a pair and my gas block is approximately 3/16" lower than than the receiver rail and, after trying all adjustments possible, I could not even come close to getting any type of accuracy alignment I then tried user a 1/2" riser on the gas block and the same problem arose due to the front now being higher! The gas block and receiver rail MUST be virtually 100% identical in height!

I would get the Diamondhead front sight hi base gas block for using on the gas block rail. I it is made for the gas block rail.

If you have a rail height gas block then mount it there. I like to have the sights as far apart as possible - I get better MOA.

I'm not sure what you're talking about here, but these sights have nothing to do with the gas block. These sights mount on the top or side rail and locate the "sight" at a 45 deg. angle thereby clearing the scope.

It does, but you will need to lower the post as low as possible before sighting in. Works best with offset gas block rail

No, gas this sight is meant for a low profile gas block. You need a stanard height front sight.

These sights did not work on my flaptop. The rifle was shooting way low and i could not get the front to go down low enough to raise my shot. I think they are made to go on a gas block that is shorter than a even top rail.

No, This is is purposely taller to work for the lower gas blocks. If your gas block is level with the top rail, then you need the one that is not gas block height. This same manufacturer makes both. You do need metal sights for the gas block since plastic ones will melt. And these are metal, So just get the standard height sight. You will be ready to shoot.

It seems to depend on who answers the question. The sights I received are on the same plane and the front sight does not work with a low profile gas block. It seems that the order fulfillment companies are sending out each type randomly.

It depends on the length of the gun but their the same specs. Most gas blocks are different in the way they are mounted some are "welded" some have set screws. But all can be changed for an A2 style or a low profile gas block. I hope this helps.

as log as the gas block rail ad the upper rail are in the same plane it should work

Yes as long as it's mounted on the correct gas block. Standard profile mounts on standard height gas block. Low profile mounts on rail or rail height gas block. Standard height gas block sits lower than rail height.

I wouldn't mount this to the gas block. The screws are probably too wide apart. This rail is typically used to tilt the scope down to increase the elevation adjustment. I don't know of any rails specifically designed to extend from a gas block.
