Gun is an old Arsenal milled SLR101 with:
* AK-47 countour barrel
* definitive arms gas block front sight
* pinned/welded keymo muzzle device

Want advice on handguards. I'd prefer something decently lightweight.

I have a t1 type microdot, not sure where to mount it right now (wavering between cowitness RS regulate, attero arms bravo and something low profile over the gas tube).

This is a good setup for a basic rifle. My AKS-74U has Zenitco handguards and a Holosun on top which is a similar setup, but not quite as sturdy as the Ultimak.

I'm worried the ultimak will interfere with the operation of the gas block. It has a rotating collar that is in direct contact with the gas tube that adjusts the gas volume.

The Ultimate has enough clearance that the fit at that point could be adjusted.

The Ultimak is designed to have clearance on both ends, so it should not be hard up against the gas block or rear sight block, you should be good.
