What is the best way to get rid of a bayonet lug off an AR-15 barrel without mangling/destroying the barrel itself? I live in NY, and plan on building an AR soon, and all the barrels I can find still come with bayonet lugs on the gas block. I'd like to not have to shill out any more money for a separate gas block JUST for the sake of not having the danged lug on there, so how far do I have to go to make it 'legally' removed? Is making it inoperable enough, or does it have to be sheared clean off?

Or you could simply buy the barrel you really want with a gas block that doesn't include the bayonet lug:

My plan B is to get a stripped barrel from Stag Arms and get a railed gas block and just use flip-up sights. Part of me wants to have the fixed front sight, though.
There are still options other than cutting.

The bottom barrel in the picture does not have a bayonet lug.
