I went with the IBI barrel (0.936 block) as well and a strike industries hand guard and It fits with room to spare. The hand guard is made to fit around suppressors and has 1.55” of internal space. Fits the IBI low pro block easily and both the Superlative arms and Odin works has block. Good quality hand guard too, I didn’t have to compromise looks, weight, ergonomics, rails etc. Just to for the gas block.

I had an IBI barrel w/0.936 block, their low profile gas block and a BCM MCMR handguard. The clearance was nil along the bottom. Even after shaving the Allen screws to be flush with the gas block. It would work with some dremel work, but I had no interest in butchering a HG.
With an ALG EMR v2 there was ~1/16“ clearance under the rail and 1/8" clearance on the bottom. IIRC it was a PITA to time the barrel nut on the ALG, but it was solid.
Getting my build redone with new parts. The accuracy of the S&J dimpled barrel was atrocious so now I have a IBI 19" out for cerakote and up to now, I haven't been able to install my LAW Folder due to the JP Silent Capture Spring in use. Does anyone know where I can source either an Anarchy Outdoors SCS compatible bolt extension or the JP Enterprises kit to make my spring work with a Law folder?
