I ended up taking the "wings" off the front site and unscrewed the fiber optic. Thought it would still be in my way so used a dremel to cut it off and then ground it down some more. Once I had it low enough for my liking I hit it with some matte black paint and called it good. Now to get my shells and get it patterned and sighted in.
