A quick answer by a subject matter expert as opposed to combing through web page after web page of poorly-informed comments by wannabes is one of the things that makes this site great.
Time to go spend some money.

You might check and see if it is an AWB rifle. If it is, and the muzzle device is welded on, the front sight assembly will not come off without some machine time.
If the rifle has a screw on flash suppressor, the front sight assembly should come off after removing the two taper pins of roll pins on the lower half of the assembly. Sometimes, it takes a bit of penetrating oil or heat to come loose, and the judicious application of a hammer.
If the rails cover any of the FSA area, you may have to do some cutting there as well.
The flip up front sight option requires none of these mods.
Your call, though. Best of luck.
