I plan on adding a Troy TRX Standard - 11 Inch Model rail and removing the FSB on my 20inch BCM rifle and I need a gasblock/front sight and I am looking for some suggestions. Basically I am going for a SAM-R look but with out going poor doing so. I was looking at the MI Folding Sight Tower FST for $150 but the Vltor one looks really nice but is it worth the extra cash for something that probably wont be used a whole lot

ETA and is the BCM 20inch gov profile a .750" diameter?

11" TRX isn't going to reach the FSB/gasblock,  need a 12" or go low profile and 13" or 15"

this is basically the look I am going for but on a budget. If it is a little bit shorter thats ok

The VLTOR VST is a gorgeous piece. I had one, but moved toward handguards that cover the gas block so it was useless to me and I sold it. It was utterly well built and looked to be down for whatever abuse you can throw at it.

Its an inch short, exposes the gas tube to damage.

The 11" is made to cover a low profile gas block on a mid length gas gun.

Suppose I could do a Daniel Defense 12.0 AR 15 Lite Rail (this would cover a low gas block yes?). With the rail  wrench and low gas block it is still less than what it would cost for the  knights rail and gas block

12" is rifle length and is like the pic you posted. To cover the gas block on a rifle gas barrel you need at least 13".
