I was just going to suggest Troy.

But if it is a 22 then its not a functioning gas block. If it is not a functioning gas block then you can use MagPul's plastic front sights.

I don't think Magpuls are high enough. Pretty sure they're designed for rail mount even profile and the melting factor of a normal LP block is why.

The polymer sights are made and isolated for mounting to a handuard height same plane rail due to melting/heat issues on a AR gas block. I purchased a CMMG dedicated 22LR upper with a low profile gas block. I'd love to use MBUS but it would require a gas block riser, I'm thinking that's the way I'll go!
