If you already have a upper that has the standard front sight base my advice is to just grind it down with a dremel and grind wheel.
I was goin to go with the YHM FF but decided not to since I could not remove my FSB. So I went with a 2 piece FF rail a
Troy MRF-MX 10" Rail and it looked pretty damn good. Well in my opinion any way

(the top rails lined up perfect, it just looks a lil off set because of the ladder rails covers I had on there.)
