So I have dug and have been unable to find a thread already about Mid-Length rifle gas and Mid-Length hand guards.
This is my build in its current state. I would like upgrade it to a free floated tubular hand guard. perferably a
Nordic Components AR Hand Guard, Mid Length or JP/VTAC modular free float hand guard, mid length
I'm looking for someone with a simialr build to mine but with one of those tubes or one like it.

rifle is a 16" barrel with a battle comp so over all 18.5" with a Mid-Length gas and A2 front sight.

Nice job did you shave the front site/gas block down and add the rail?   What rail?

All my 9" free floats are on carbine gas systems.







I've got some midlengths but I've got 12" or 13" rails on them.  Here is a 16" 6.8 with 13" TRX Extreme.



Here is a 14.5" midlength with a 12" DD Omega.

I did some searching to find something similar to what your looking for.  Their really aren't many out there.  Here is what I've found that is close.



Obviously its not a fixed front, but it does have the TRX and a midlength gas system with the block exposed.



I also found this VTAC on a dissipator.  I really like the way this one looks.

A little more looking and I found a sampson and a VTAC









Personally I prefer a low profile gas block and 12" of rail.  I like to grip a little farther out so it gives me the room I like and a longer sight radius.  That VTAC should give you a pretty good idea of how it will look with a Troy Alpha attached.
