What free float, not plain round, not railed, mounting options compatible do you recommend?
I have one with a bull barrel that has the round style hand guard on it, and i want to switch it out, but I am not having luck finding which ones will actually fit on a bull barrel.
would also like to be able to put an adjustable gas block on it, so looking for the slimiest adjustable gas block that would fit under the hand guard, i guess worst case scenario I can have the gas block in front of the hand guard like it is now, but i don't prefer that set up.

Why would anyone want a slimy hand-guard?

OA made a Bull barrel low profile adjustable gb that would fit in a Troy Alpha or Bravo rail.
Barrel had deep dimples for the set screw tips to seat in.
It was a side adjust, so I machined an access hole in the rails to permit access to the adjuster screw.
I will see if I still have it and post pictures, if I do.

Aero Precision has one on sale right now that might work for what you want.

For anyone following,  i got in touch with model 1 sales (they made the upper) and the recommended a yhm that is 1.75" i.d.
I got the 15" r7 handguard and we'll follow up with how it fits when i get the barrel back from threading
