but then the standard front sight will always be useless unless you switch out the lower to one without a pic rail.
if it were me, and i were going with the pic lower, i'd get the pic gas block to match it - might as well.
without a cheek piece, the para stock will suck for AR-height sights on top of the FAL. since my para has standard sights, and i didn't want a cheek piece, i went with the lowest aimpoint ring i could find. but i don't have any backup sights.

I just added it to the Rifle yesterday, after my original post. Someone gave me the same advice as you. Lucky for me, I would of been stuck with a useless front sight and forced to have the Gas Block changed out. If I would of ordered this Rifle just a week ago. There would of been more then just one mistake. Lucky I'm deployed, don't know if I would of researched this much at the house. Lesson learned.

That was not the case when I bought mine. The 18" barrel was not an option on the carbine, and the STG-58C had broken me from the 16.25". That thing hurt to shoot.

This was news to me also. Changed a lot of my original ideas. I don't know how long ago DSA started giving customers their choice of Barrel lengths. Before this was considered a special request. From what the dealer told me very expensive to. Today DSA will interchange any compatible components between their Rifles. DSA only charges extra if the part you want cost extra. Good business move. Most likely the reason behind the longer waiting period.
