I have been wanting to extend my hand guards for awhile now. The only way I knew how was to get a lo pro gas block and get a free float rail. After finding the rail and gas block I wanted it was going to run me around 200 dollars. A little much for me as a college kid.
I thought about doing this though. I just want to know if its possible before I buy the stuff. I currently am running a MOE carbine length hand guard with a Yankee Hill gas block/flip up front sight combo. As seen below.
Here is my plan. Buying a MOE hand guard in the mid-length variety and a lo pro gas block. Could I put on the lo pro gas block and then put hand guard over that gas block and then use my gas block/flip up front sight to hold my hand guards in place? In theory I could see this working and saving me $150 bucks in the process.
