I’ve got a PSA mid length upper with built in gas block/front sight post I’ve never really done much with. I think I will use this rifle to host my WOT forced reset trigger. I’m looking for a rail (prefer mlok) that will work with my front sight post. I could always remove the the front sight and shave it down to make a low pro gas block but I would like to keep the front sight. All I’ve found is carbine length rails like pictures below. Anyone know where to find one for a mid length?

they recommend heavier buffers or increased gas for those triggers to put more force in the BCG movement on account of how the hammer rides the underside of the BCG.
midlength gas might not be ideal since it's generally a little softer shooting than carbine
 
No.

a FSP pocket does not leave any rail space in the forward area. Some have a Mid gas with a FSP and a open area

I want to try the mid length because it should a little softer shooting. I’ve got a kak adjustable buffer and 5 or 6 different buffer springs to trial and error to see if I can get it to work.

You’re saying no I don’t have any options for what I’m looking for?
 
The only mid-length rail I know with FSP cut-out is the Centurion C4, but as our esteemed colleague @JBoyette mentioned, it does not have rail space in front of the cut-out.
 
Look into the DD Omega 9.0 mlok

I run one on my M4gery with pic rails instead of MLOK and it is a really nice rail.

It is drop in and free float as well, which is cool.

Did a similar thing. This is a carbine 7.25", but they make a 9.25 for midlength. Midwest Industries free float. Nice because barrel floats, has mlok, and QD options. I like it a lot.

That said, I like that DD option frankncyclons posted as it drops in, whereas this MI required removal of sight post. Didn't bother me as I installed this adjustable gas JP sight post during the build. But likely would use a 2-piece drop in had I already has the sight post installed. They can sometimes be a bear to remove. Just my opinion.
