I am unaware of any clamp on front sight. You could drill and tap for a ramp, solder on a ramp, or make and install a banded front sight ramp.
What length is the barrel from the font face of the receiver to the face of the muzzle?
21 1/4".64 diameterQuote:

Otherwise, fit whatever you like as a foresight then mark the sight graduations appropriately after determining those on the range. If you grind off the original markings you will need to carefully adjust the back sight slide afterwards to ensure that is a close fit, unless you use a Mk.3 back sight.
