Question M4 Scope Mounting Problem

I recently bought a G&G M4 carbine for my collection (No, I don't play airsoft). I wanted to put a scope on it and i realized that the standard triangular front sight got in the way if i mounted a scope. After doing some research, I found out that i can:

A: Get a scope mount for the carrying handle.
B: Get a flip-up replacement front sight.
C: Get a high enough scope mount.

As an airsoft collector and not a real player, I seldom take apart my guns nor do I really know much about the internals as I don't actually fire them (asides for once to make sure they work), so that elliminates option B (I don't want to reinstall a new front sight unless someone can tell me how to =D). I have seen a great number of videos on option A and so I have no problem with that except I didn't want to waste money purchasing that (dont't like playing for shipping but I will buy it if its the only option).
So my question is, "Is it possible to get a scope mount that when i mount my scope and look throught it, the front sights won't be obstructing my view and if yes, where can I buy this."
Also, if anyone knows the specific heights of standard scope mounts (high profile, medium profile and low profile), it would be deeply appreciated.
