    Your photo's are fine & if you say its welded & pinned , I believe you , it just looks like its normally screwed on with a Crush washer & as Robo stated , why the Crush Washer if its pinned & welded , makes no sense unless they wanted to have a spacer for some reason .

     Just use a Dremel tool or something to grind or File it to let the Gas Block Pass or take it to someone if you dont feel your ready to do something like that yet .

  

I'd give it a go I can't hurt anything to bad I don't think

At this point, the simplest solution would be to sell the rifle and move to a free country. Then you could build/buy whatever you wanted. Oklahoma is nice.

 

In all seriousness, though, if I were in your position, I'd take it to a gunsmith (or send the upper off to one -- no FFL paperwork that way) and have them do the work. Based on your posts, it sounds like you're still learning. No one can fcuk a rifle up faster than a novice with a Dremel.

I mean that in the nicest way possible, as I, too (like all of us here), was once a novice. With a Dremel. And bastard files. And lots of crazy misconceptions about how shiite comes apart and goes together.

 

You would be so right I'm trying to learn but it's hard because I live around nothing but liberals and gun Smith's are scared to death do to any alterations to any rifle because of the safe act
