i recomend a banded front sight. NECG are pretty sweet. check them out at midwayusa.com. im having one installed in place of the factory sight on my mod 7 cdl. make sure to do enough research though and end up w/ the hight and size bead you will like the best. they are interchangable anyways if you dont like what you end up w/. i put a williams front ramp on my whelen carbine after i had that cut off and i really like it for close work. also at this point if your installing a new front i would go ahead and recomend a fiberoptic bead. i prefer a fiberoptic front and factory rear w. no bright colors or white triangles. no need for it. the rear sights, if the gun fits like it should will "pop" up perfectly in place every time.
