I want to build a car for my first build i am going to get a kit.  i want to go with a yhm hand guard but i don't know if i want to go with the free float or the 2 piece.  To get a free float on I have to take off the front sight, that intimidates me.  A 2 piece would be much easier, right? or am i missing something ? I don’t like the looks of the 2 piece.  Also do you have to get a hand guard tool to take them off or can you just pull back against the delta ring and twist? Any advice will help and the tutorials I have found don’t show very well in that dept

For a FF install you need to remove your muzzle device & FSB unless you get a two piece FF set. For the the two piece FF's all you have to do is cut off the delta ring assembly. If you run a two piece non-FF rail system you just replace your existing hand guards with the two piece set. You pull the delta ring down with your fingers or you can use a hand guard removal tool to remove or install two piece sets that are not FF.

unless you need a FF tubing, i'd just consider the 2 piece--easy, no tools to install

check this link for installation FF help: www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=226782

you will need some specialized tools for the FF installation--strap wrench, vice, reciever block, etc

if you want a FF tube w/ the lease hassle, check out MI's FF tubes

Most kits come with the upper assembled and tested...  So if you want FF just order it that way, and it will most likely be done for you.
