Will a shaved front sight base fit under a Knight Free float rail?  I ordered a varminter style fsb on my 14.5" barrel and now I am not sure it will fit under the Free float.

It'll fit fine so long as you shave enough off.

There are a couple gas blocks that fit under the knights.
Mainly, the Knights and the PRI and maybe the LaRue.
A shaved gas block from bushmaster will NOT fit under a Knights, it's too wide.
You can shave it down some more, but plan on re-finishing.
Best solution is to just use the right block from the start.

ETA: I forgot that Troy and CMMG have small gas blocks that should also fit.
I have a drawing for 0.625" micro gas blocks that are about to be machined.
