Picked up a Stag 15 with the Magpul MOE hand guard already installed. It came without iron sights but with a Sig Romeo red dot that I really like. I have a spare set of Magpul BUIS flip-ups that I’d like to use but the front-end of the MOE plastic fore end prevents the front sight (mounted on a small section of Pic rail where the A2 front sight would normally be) from flipping down (back). Can I simply spin the front sight around so it flips forward-down instead of backward-down? Or will this affect how they align or appear in the sight picture? It seems like it would be okay to me but it looks a little weird.
If not with the Magpuls, how about any other? I’ve been researching a bunch of backup sights, and none of their descriptions actually give a flip-forward or flip-backwards designation. Ideally, the flip-forward-down front iron sight on my SCAR 16 would be a perfect solution. Any ideas?
