Are there any free floating rails that can be installed without the removal of the front sight post and barrel nut? I purchased an upper with a pinned muzzle device so i will not be able to remove it. The only one Ive found is the DD Omega.

Midwest Industries Gen2 two piece free float rails would work. Simply cut-off the delta ring and springs underneath with a dremel and the handguards attach to the existing barrel nut. They're very solid, good quality handguards.

Check out Troy Delta rails.

The MI is supposed to be good but the Centurion Arms C4 I think is supposed to be better. It does cost more. Unless you get it used which is hard to find they cost $246 anywhere you go pretty much. I might try an MI on one of my carbines.

DD Omega gets my vote.

The Troy MRF-CX or the DD Omega FSP. I like the Troy as a little cheaper solution to the DD FSP rail. I'm sure the DD is a slight better refined and designed rail but the Troy did it for me.

I did not mean to snub the DD, Troy, or even the MI. They all look like very decent rails. After looking around a while I decided on the Centurion. I did not get the extended version for my mid length though it was a close call. They both looked very nice.

Slight twist if I may. Will all of these work with A2 format uppers?? The DD looks like it wouldn't, but that is a guess.
