Hey guys, I'm looking for another option for this problem.
I had a 11.5" 223 pistol that I didn't really like the length of or the lack of a stock (Im in Nazi occupied Illinois). But everything else was nice, including a 9" railed handguard. I felt it was too short to do anything real practical with, so I decided to make it into a rifle. I bought a YHM 14.5" w/ pinned FH for the existing upper and was looking around for a two piece clamp on gas block to fit under the rail, but no luck. I don't think one of the one piece clamp ons would fit over the FH, but maybe it does...?
The current idea is to get a two piece with the top and bottom rails and I'll just machine the rails down or off completely to get it to fit. I really don't want a shorter rail system, and I have access to machines so its no biggie to do that. Im sure one of you has run across this problem.
Thanks in advance
