medic83 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) My barrel came today and I took a look at how things will look. I have the JP clamp low pro gas block with the 12.5" apex hand guard and FA 18.5" barrel. The gas block is pretty much exposed completely. I was wondering if I could get some pics of your rifles with the same or similar barrel and your long hand guards. I think I might want to have the gas block covered by the hand guard. Im debating sending the 12.5" back for the 15" one. Thanks guys! Edited May 3, 2013 by medic83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyEJL Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I've got a 20" barrel and 12 inch troy handguard, and I can't recall the brand of gas block but its covered. Just barely, but is covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofball310 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Here's a 21" barrel w/ a 14" rail. If I recall correctly FA's 18.5" barrel uses a rifle-length gas system so a 15" rail would extend about 1" past the GB.

medic83 Posted May 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Thx guys. I ordered the 15" handguard and rail from Brownells. Gonna send the 12.5" back. The look just kinda bothered me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have an 18.5" HBAR and a 15" Apex waiting for a new upper. I was hoping to have all the parts in hand by now. Good luck on your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
