I have a Bushmaster AR-15 and I want to remove the front sight post/gas block and put a rail system on. I replaced the original heat shield hand guards with a cheap UTG quad rail that just clamps on top of the bracket under the front sight which normally holds the heat shields. But I still have the standard front sight post gas block that came with the weapon, and I want to remove that so I can add a flip up iron sight. I also want to replace that UTG quad rail with something a lot lighter and more high quality.
Is there a quad rail that has an integral gas block, so that the single piece would both replace the standard quadrail/handguard and also the gas block? Most rail gas blocks I've seen are just the small piece that would only replace the gas block, but require some other part for the hand guard. I am looking for one rail system that does all of that. Also, preferably very light weight.
Also, given what I want, this might be too much to ask, but I'm not looking to spend $300-400 dollars on just a rail. If there is something cheaper out there, I'd look at that first. I want to move beyond bottom of the barrel UTG, but I'm not the kind of guy who has thousands of dollars to drop on Troy and LaRue everything. I've been looking at Yankee Hill, but I can't see if they have a rail system that does the job I want.
Any ideas?
