    You never did say where you are.
    I've got two different styles of AR15 upper receiver vise blocks, and the wrenches needed to swap hand-guards.
    I'd be happy to let you use them if you're close enough to make it feasible.
    Pm me if you'd like.

    I really appreciate the offer. I ended up getting it done today. Barrel nut was really easy. Taking off the front sight was a different story. Made sure I was punching the right way and the pins mushroomed instead of moving. Ended up drilling them out and getting a BCM low pro gas block and a spikes gas tube. Just figured I might as well replace the tube since it was out and they're cheap. It is nice using my scope on 1x and not seeing the front sight anymore.
