Dumb question, but I can't answer it myself because the stupid Pacific ocean is between me and a hand-on verification.

I'm trying to install a 14" DD Lite rail on an upper that currently has a 12" DD Lite rail installed. Will the handguard portion clear the gas block (Centurion LP) so that the only tool I will need is a hex wrench to remove and install a new one, or am I going to have to remove the gas system and reinstall it?

I know how little effort is involved with the TROY TRX rails, and this would be a relatively quick answer if I was back home... this will help my planning out significantly.

I was able to remove mine by just removing the screws and it come off with no problem. It fit over the low profile gas block I had on.
