I am working on my first build and need some help.  I have an 18" LSA Brux, Stainless Steel, 1x7.6” Twist, ½ x 28 T.P.I., Rifle Length Gas Tube heavy barrel in the mail and wanted to put a Larue 9" free float on it with a PRI flip up front sight. So my question is does a midlength handguard cover all of the gas tube and does it need to go up to the front sight and cover some of that?  or is the whole thing a rifle length handguard?  Im just tryin to learn up and figure stuff out before I order the rest of everything.  Also pics to show me so I can understand a little bit better would be awesome.  thanks

The 9" rail is for the Midlength gas system guns.  

You need one for the Rifle length gas system, othwerwise your gas tube would be exposed at the end.

Sorry, I have a Midlength gun so I can't show you pics of a Rifle length set-up.
