Planning another upper project, and wanted to see if anyone's done this.  Will these rail handguards clear a milled front site?  I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this.  Pics would be appreciated.  (Don't bother suggesting a SIR or RAS; They're out of the budget.)

Considering that the 'Extended Carbine' length FIRSH is designed to completely enclose a 16" barrel, the answer should be obvious.

Here's the extra long FIRSH on a 20" barrel.
