as you can see the guard won't fit over the block.

1. i thought about milling a slot on the top of the guard and drill 2 holes on the bottom so i can install the block after the guard is tightened.
2. if i cut the guard down it will only be 2-1/4" long. too short.
3. different guard

any suggestions on #3??? what have y'all done on your's???

I have a yankee hill midlength light weight free float tube on mine with paladins 3 pos gas block. My tube just barely:wink: fits over it after rounding the corners on the gas block and the rotating selector and shortening the lever in the selector. with the carbine length tube I wouldn't have had to open up the lightening holes on my tube but with the mid length I did and am very happy I went this route.

It looks factory and gives me lots of room on the tube for mounting accessories.

Hope this helps

I could open the tube to fit for you but I cant tell from the pic if there will be enough material left for strenth. If not the YHM is a good product. Ron

i went ahead and cut the guard out. figured if it doesn't work out i can always get another.
