The Gen II SS 15" rail is one of my favorites but be sure to use green loctite on the outside of your barrel nut when assembling your hand guard or it could move forward under recoil. Do not over tighten or the hand guard nubs will break on the proprietary barrel nut. I never had any problem with my AA or Lilja barrels using the SLR Sentry 7 adj gas block with my MI Gen II SS 15" hand guards but another member did when his hand guard flexed and would hit the gas block. Be aware it is a close fit. The SLR hand guards are another favorite of mine and have plenty of room under the hand guard. I have Syrac and SLR "my favorite" adjustable gas blocks on all of my Grendel rifles.
For dot sights I prefer the Aim point Micro H-1 or the T-1 if you are using night vision. The new T-2 comes with its own lens covers. The H-1 is less expensive and sits on many of my families rifles. They are not cheap but I will use no other. They are the lightest and fastest dot sight I have used that will be rugged enough for any situation. The battery life will last for 5 years on setting 7. I sold my Eotech sights after using my first Aim point micro. Others may disagree but this is my favorite dot sight. Good luck with your build
