I don't see how it can work with a permanently mounted flash hider as you need to slip the DD barrel nut on and while it will clear the flash hider I don't think it will go over the gas block.

chuck is correct.  

once you perm. attach the FH you lose all ability to use 1 piece FF tubes.  

you will need to get a 2 piece FF rail

Troy

MI

make them

Does this barrel even have a standard GI style barrel nut on it? If not then you will need to remove the flash hider  and gas block no matter what FF tube you want.

All the ones zaskar017 mentions require the GI barrel nut. DD, Larue and a few other use their own barrel nuts.

Do you already have the barrel or is it on order? If on order I am sure you have time to change it and possibly ship them the nut from the FF tube of your choice or order the tube from CMMG and they can install it for you before welding on the flash hider.

If you already have it then sorry to say you will have to spend the bucks to have the hider removed/reinstalled and install a barrel nut of some sort.

I'd just cancel and order a plain 14.5 and have it attached later.  If you placed the order within the last week or so, you have a long wait anyway.

Oh, ok, definitely don't cancel then!  If you can't get in touch with them (try posting on their page in the Industry forum), you can have the attached muzzle device removed, ADCO is always recommended.  As for the Troy rail, I believe that is one of the drop in type that don't require removing everything, but am not positive.
