I'm building a 300bk with a 7.5" barrel and pistol length gas system. Is there a way to add an A2 front sight and short handguard to this setup? Thanks in advance! |

I did a build with a low profile functional gasblock at the pistol gas location and then a clamp on FSB way out towards the end of that 8.5 barrel for the sights, then custom made some carbine handguards to fit the length. My ItsyBitsy A2  Here's the article I did for it https://thenewrifleman.com/make-your-own-custom-pistol-length-ar-15-handguards/ |
Don't be so open-minded that your brains fall out.
