Hey doods,
I am looking to build a flat top upper with the "total rail" (no standard gas block just a flip up) look to the weapon. What is the cleanest way to do that? Get a 4 rail gas block and the picatinny setup or what?

there are several different ways to get a gun looking like mine.

the LMT MRP is a monolithic upper, which is the full length rail built into the upper, it's a neat system but spendy.

my rail system is a GG&G modular, there are other companies that make the monolithic look rail systems, MI makes one I think.

The front sight is a Troy, but just about everyone makes a rail mount front sight. The rear is a YHM.

The gas block is also from YHM if memory serves me correctly.

so just get the 4 rail gas block and a picatinny rig? and does it need to be 2 piece or free float?

i'm not using a railed gas block. i'm using a low profile gas block

there are one piece and 2 piece free float rail systems. mine is a 2 piece, although a 1 piece would also work.

the 2 piece systems are much easier to install in my opinion.

I perfer this



ETA the gas block is fully shrouded under the free float tube.

On this upper there is:

Votex Flash Eliminator
Bushy upper and Heavy Barrel
YHM Spectra Free Float Tube
Armalite Midlenth Rail

FFT $85-$100
Upper rail $105 ( I have a second that I would part with for $70 shipped)
LP Gas Block (I have a used spare that I would part with for an additional $10)

Just email me if you are intrested.

LMT MRP

VLTOR VIS

LWRC SRT

POF Predator

Hk 416

Or get a standard AR Carbine upper, replace the Front Sight Base with a lo-pro gas block and install a Troy MRF-M.
