Things are looking up for us so in case of AWB going away forever, how easy would it be to add flash hider and bayonet lug to a postban AR? Say the stock Bushmaster XM15E2S, it will have neutered front sight, and also naked muzzle.
I assume one only needs to thread the muzzle to get the FH installed. Can it be done by hand with tap and cutter, or must it be machine turned?
The bayo lug is abit trickier from what I can tell. To make it look "right", you'd want it to be integral with front sight. That means the entire front sight has to be changed out. Is it easy as knocking out the pins, take off old block, and then install a new one? I heard the location of the pins are often different between manufacturers, maybe even different among the same model.
