Longer handguard we are agreed on. However, I really disagree on the redundancy...
By going with a Kino setup, what you're getting over a FSP rail is ONE extra once, but also getting a fully protected actual gas block. That is, on the FSP rail, you're gas block / sight is out there to get hit and damaged. One a kino, it's fully protected by the handguard. To say redundancy implies a negative. I see difference as at worst, a lateral change, neither better or worse. Just different.
The forged FSB can crack when hit. All talk about sheering pins and clamp rotation aside, if hit hard enough, it's steel on steel to the barrel, something must give. I've seen FSB's broken during install (twice) but never one already installed. Still, there is something to be said for protecting the gas block imo.
