For a 6920.

I want to remove the front site, add full length rails. I do not need some tier 1 top of the line items. But something that would hold up to me shooting it maybe 2-3 times a month, depending on ammo budget. Not for competition, not for charging compounds, just for sport. I would only want to put a short vertical grip, small light, and a flip up front site.

Troy TRX rail and their gas block which is full length. Get the 13" for a carbine

With rail handguards you really notice the difference between different quality levels. If there's a part you'll not regret splurging on, it's a quality rail handguard.

For a quad rail I still like the older DD M4 design, the newer Omega X are also nice though. For the low profile block you want a "clamp on" style, not the type with a set screw when used on a barrel that has taper pin scars. Daniel Defense also makes a nice clamp on gas block that's trim enough to fit under virtually any rail.
