[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question about a Free Float Forearm.

Posted: 4/25/2008 1:24:33 PM EDT

I have a Bushy O.R.C. with a milled gasblock.My question is will a YHM Free Float Forearm
YHM-9631 and End Cap YHM-9484-A work with this gun?
Can someone Explain what is meant by Milled gas Block.
I don't get the firearm from UPS until Wedesday so I can't really see it yet in person.
and is there any other Front Iron sight flips ups for it, besides the bushy V sight YHM-9360K?

This is my First AR so I am very new to them.

Yes, but it will take some work.

It means they cut off the front sight portion of a front sight base, used a mill to clean it up a bit (make it smooth/lower profile).

There are rail mounted front sights (fixed & flip up) that will mount on your FF rail.

What do you mean by some work?Do you install AR forearms by removing the barrel?
Like I said I know you guys get NOOBS all the time.And answer alot of the same stuff.So I really am thankful for the help.

And thanks for the Answers on the others questions.

For that system you will need to remove the barrel AND the gas block (which is held in by taper pins - those can be a real bear).

Well now I am wondering if I have to take the Milled gas Block off anyway.Can I not put it back on and get a Sight with a Block on it.Like YHM's Barrel mounted Flip sight?
Like this one (Example)

Or should I just get a 2 piece Forearm to fix the pain in the ass problem LOL?

If it's a stock ORC you should be able to remove the handguards and put on a Daniel Defense Omega or a Vltor. If you remove the delta ring assemble you could use a two piece like a troy or midwest industries etc. You can cut the delta ring off with a dremel or remove the barrel.

The sit pins on bushmasters are supposed to be a pain to get off. I have never tried it. Adco could remove it and put whatever front sight you want on.

Never knew Daniel Defense was here in town. LOL
Like 5 mins from my house.

Anyone have a round about price that a gun smith would charge for this?
Let him have the pain in the ass problems.

Should not get a free float?
Whats some Pros and Cons?

Ok So I have been looking at Non Free floating.

Would you go YHM quad rail or MI#17?
Both are two piece so worry about taking the barrel off or Delta Ring.
Both have gotten good reviews on the sights I have seen.
