To my knowledge no off the shelf hand guard fits over the standard pencil barrel gas block.
The few people I have seen with them, they were homespun Dremel jobs. If you have the low profile gas block, the Troy Extreme should fit over it. |

Worse case, I will just get a Samson extended, and deal with the short sight radius, but for what I paid for the kit I can live with it. |

Thanks for the reply. I have a few different brands of rails on some of my other ARs so I may take them off to do some testing. Worse case, I will just get a Samson extended, and deal with the short sight radius, but for what I paid for the kit I can live with it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The previous gentleman is correct, the lite block is not a low profile block. The XLP is the only low profile block that will fit under a hand guard. The lite was made to reduce weight by eliminating the top rail, but still utilizes a cutout piston type hand guard. |
