You aren't going to be able to mount it properly on that barrel.

you would have to remove your current gas block that you have (remove the 2 roll pins) and put on the triangle sight in reverse order of how you took off the gas block. line up the two holes on the front sight with the two cut outs on the bottom of the barrel and push the roll pins through them. but it probably wont fit, from the picture it looks like your barrel is to fat for the sight to fit over.

And the pin spacing is off.

So I need a whole new barrel to mount it?

Or take a drill/file to your current barrel.  Which will look like crap.

just keep you current set up and buy a rail mounted front sight set
