[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1289259, member: 12995"] Removing that pinned A2 front sight can be a real pain in the ***, if you don't have the proper tools and knowledge. And rcoody is right, you will have to remove the A2 birdcage, [U]A2 front sight post[/U], gas tube, [U]handguards[/U], [U]metal handguard retaining ring[/U], [U]barrel nut[/U], and [U]delta ring assembly[/U]. The above underlined items are items that will be discarded in your install of the new handguard, and will not be reused. Then, re-torque and properly clock the new proprietary Lantac barrel nut. Then add a new low-pro gas block and new gas tube roll pin (you should be able to use the original gas tube), then reinstall the A2 birdcage muzzle device (or a new muzzle device of your choice, a BattleComp is a good one), and then install your new handguard.
