Handguard question on 10.5" barrel, carbine gas system using A2 sight/gas block
Is it safe to assume that with this system a 7" handguard should be a perfect fit? The Geissele 7" MK8 or possibly MK4 is the front runner right now. Should this butt right up to or very close to the A2 sight?

I see Troy offers a 7.2" handguard. I'm guessing this would be too long or is this designed to be a tight fit for an A2/carbine gas setup?

Is that an ALG SCB on your pistol? What's that like on a 10.5 gun?

It's a push to the rear with virtual no muzzle rise.
I have a video, haven't figured out the imbed process.

Nope, still can't get it to load.
