I cant really tell what "route" you went from that photo. Care to explain?
My gas key mounting bolts have been staked on either side for each bolt. Which might do some damage just to remove the gas key. It would be much easier to make something that would mount there using longer bolts. But I am trying to avoid removing it for now.

Removing the gas key is no big deal. So many people act like staking is some sort of black magic but it is not.
Worst case, buy another ~$10 gas key.
As for my setup, I went with a forward,, non-reciprocating handle.
I also somewhat mimicked the ZM LR300 action spring setup, but beefed it up a little. No buffer, shortened carrier, no buffer tube needed.
I did all this back in 2008, but I've still got the upper, on a folding SBR lower.
