Will a Noveske NSR 15" handguard cover up a rifle length gas block on 18" SPR barrel?

I was originally gonna go with a mid length gas system on this 18" SPR build, but now thinking about switching to rifle length. Will the 15" NSR handguard cover the gas block? It's a WOA barrel, and the pics I have seen looks like it will cover it barely. Thanks!

Most definitely will. A rifle length gas system is 12".

Yep. I have the 16.7 on my 18" 6.5G.

And that's a .936 block in case you're worried about clearance...
