You won't be able to take the FSB/Gas Block off.  That means you won't be able to get the barrel nut off.  So you're pretty much stuck with whatever handguards you have on there at the time.  That's without taking more than a wrench to it.  You'll need to do some grinding and/or heating to get it off after it's been permanently mounted.

the MI 2 piece rails.

Tha'ts when the barrel is off right? If so that's not a problem. it should be impossible to spin it when the barrel is mounted since the gas tube will be in the way. Other wise its no big deal, on every new barrel I have seen as well as most old used ones you can rotate the hand guard cap. some are just too tight or rusty to easily be rotated.

Or put a clamp-on gas block...
Most barrel nuts will fit over a common 7/8" diameter flash hider.

I know some say they can move/loosen, but i've got thousands of rounds through a midlength with a YHM Spector gas block with no problems.

yes, you will be able to use 2 piece handgaurds. they install just like standard handgaurds.
