Update: I'm going to have to do some re-thinking. I may have to change both the hand guard and/or the gas block. Things are just not fitting properly.
The HG itself is having trouble fitting into the delta ring. I did not have this issue before when I used the Colt LE6920 OEM1. It fit perfectly. Furthermore, I think it's too long, even for the 16.1 " barrel. I'm trying to fit it on and it just isn't fitting into place. We'll see. I took the roll pin from the other gas block that didn't have the set screws and tried it. While it does fit through the block, it doesn't line up with the tube holes.

That won’t work. That handguard is for the m4 style barrel but and “A” front sight. Stand by while I search for links on what barrel but you will need for that hand guard.

Here is the barrel nut and delta ring you need.

I am wondering now if we could in fact, use a different low profile gas block that could fit underneath the HG front and would allow the HG to seat properly. I'd still have to worry about it fitting on the delta ring but I'll work on that. If it won't, then I may need your guidance on selecting a "free floating" HG because this MOE HG is just not working properly for this build. I'll still stick with it but at some point I'm going ot have to consider some other options.
Anyway, my spare roll pins should arrive in a week or so.
