556R- I have the front sight installed in the front dovetail. Can I keep this or would I have to remove it to install the product?

You can keep the front sight, but not the rear, which is attached to the original Pic rail. You need to get an aftermarket rear sight, which may or may not work with the dovetail front sight. I pulled mine and got flip-up front and rear sights.

You can keep the front sight on, the top handguard installs from the top, and doesn't affect the front sight. fyi - when removing the original rail from the reciever, don't lose the small black metal disc & spring from the bottom of the backup rear sight.

You should be able to keep and use the front sight. The Samson rail tucks in under the lip of the gas block.

Yes that's the front sight I have. It lines up perfect. I didn't even have to sight it in.

I believe that you can by unscrewing the brackets which hold it in place on the top of the gun. I have not done so, but if you read the reviews about the gun, others have mentioned that they have taken the red dot sight off the gun.

You will need a gunsmith to install the front sight so I would advise against obtaining the item. You'd be better off obtaining a shotgun with sights already affixed.

You take the slide off ur gun there's a small hex head bolt that holds the front sight on . The back sight is dovetailed it can be taped out or glock makes a tool to remove it ... A local can Smith can probably do it for you

no you wouldn't have to remove the front sight post. you wouldn't need a forearm rail system to mount it unless you don't have a flat top upper receiver. if you do get it you may need a 1/4'' or .5'' riser to get the dot over your front sight. I used a 1/4 inch riser on my rock river operator. anything else let me know!

As in moving a dovetailed front or rear sight? No way, it's too big. You will need a specialized tool.

Once you remove the sight completely ,there is a dove tail mount available. you will need a long eye releif scope, this mount will place the scope about 6" further up the barrell than a regular scope. Unless you change the bolt this is your only option, even after you change the bolt, and locate the scope in @ it's usual position, you have to give up the clip aqction and the rifle become a single shot, as now the scope is in the way.... nothing is ever easy????? here is what I did for whatever it is worth , bought the ZSUN optics specialty mount@ 8" long, turned it around and mounted a 2X red dot.... I am very happy with this configuration and would recommend giving it a try.

It looks like this diopter sight should fit your dovetail sights. It doesnt appear to me that you need to change your front sight, since the williams is elevation adjustable. I run about the same setup on my hastsan striker 1000, which also has a hooded from sight, and i love the diopter.

The sight sits kinda high above your rail, so yes, you should be fine. Mine has a flat front gas book and so front sights would not be an issue for me. It may be visible if you have a raised front gas block, but should not obstruct your crosshairs.

Although I have a riser, I didn't need it. Mine is mounted on the flat top rail on my M4. A2 front sight is not a problem; the reflex sight lines up just above the front sight post on mine.... no conflict using either sight. I did not use the riser; it actually interferred with my iron sight by blocking the A2 front post.

No. It mounts directly to your receiver by drill tap. The front sight is attached over the original bead sight by epoxy.

The rear sight is a simple install since the receiver is tapped (mine is tapped too) however the front can be tricky. Mine had the standard bead sight and all i did was JB weld the new front sight on after scruffing up the barrel a bit where it was going to fit. Im not worried about the JB weld holding, because the first time i did it it set crooked and i had to remove it...with a hammer and a screwdriver....and reinstall. Perfect now and looks awesome. Works perfect.

I haven't had any issues with mine. I hit the four screws with thread locker during the initial install. I have the same rifle and have not had any issues. You will be able to see your front post and enough of your rear sight to still have functional iron sights as is claimed.

Yep that's what I have it on. F mark is the standard front sight. This will be the right height.

Hello, I have 1 of these. If it's the same as mine there should be 2 allen screws holding 1 side on. As you look at this photo it will be in the back or right side of the photo. Unscrew those allen screws w/ an allen wrench appropriate size, the 1 side piece should come off. This is then placed over the end of barrel pushed all the way on and it should slide around the front sight. If your front sight is triangular in shape it won't fit and you probably have a model 91/30. Your sight should be what's referred to as a hood sight. Rounded metal over the actual sight. The muzzle brake should slide on and the piece that came off should be located just behind the guns sight, on top of gun of course. The screw on piece should fit snug just behind the sight in its proper place as when you first removed the piece to slide it on the gun. These screws made by NC Star are cheap quality. If you get it on and screwed on tightly you're lucky! They usually strip out. Find replacement screws if that's possible before installing. To keep these screws on without loosening up while shooting use "lock tight" on the screws. I hope that answers your question.

I'm assuming the 552 has a standard 3/8 dovetail mount, with that said your choices are endless.I have all my rifles with iron sites set up with see through mounts because I often use the open site as well as the scope and you don't have to worry about removing the rear site on the riffle. Millett, Leupold, Kwick Site and even BSA make these types of mounts, just check Amazon for see through scope mounts, I would try and stay away from the Weaver mounts, these were just a head ache for me, hope that helps.
