I am thinking about an upper for myforst build.  CMMG has a 14.5in upper with a phantom perminatly attacedh bringing it to 16 in.  They also offer a YHM low porfile gas block as an option.  I am thinking of putting on a rifle lenght lightweight railed FF forearm specificly the YHM model.  Will I have to take the gas block or the phantom off to get the free float on.  I imagine the FF handguard will fit over the gas block and the phantom but will the barrel nut.  Being that the Jam nut fit over the barrel nut i think it will clear both parts.  or should just save myself the trouble and allow YHM to install it as they offer free factory installation.

I'm thinking the float tube BBL nut wouldn't clear the gas block.  You might as well have CMMG put the YHM float tube on.  It's shown as a $140 option on their 14.5 Mid-Length Upper w/Permanent Phantom upper.  YHM show it on their site as $159 + shipping your BBL/upper to them. The best price I've seen is eaglefirearms.net @ $119.  Cheapest route would be CMMG installing it for you.
