I guess I didn't do enough homework or something. Imagine my surprise when I realize my mid-length YHM ff tube doesn't cover my mid-length gas system? I'm sure there is some explanation for this, but I can't come up with it. Can someone fill me in?
Mid-length gas system, Mid-length ff tube... not made for each other?

A 9" Mid-Length rail is not meant to cover your gas block. It is made to sit right behind it. Usually, 9" rails are installed on mid length systems that utilize the A2 FSB. I'm assuming you have a low profile gas block and you're wanting the rail to completely cover it? If so, depending on how far to want to go past it or how much barrel you want showing then you need to look at rails that are 10-12 inches in length.

I believe your barrel length will have a lot to do with it. I am planing to build a Aero Precision COP mid length upper with a 14.5" barrel and a pinned flash suppressor.

Boss, if you need a rifle length YHM rail, I have a spare sitting right here as well.
It's a lightweight model. Not the Diamond series. So you can still use the YHM barrel nut.

Most of mine stick out like that, it shouldn't be an issue unless it kills your tacticool mojo.

Huh?
The distance of the gas block from the receiver isn't going to change whether it's a mid length 14.5" or 16". Did you know trees grow from the top, not the bottom?
The lightweight is what I have. You looking for a mid length?
After looking at it angrily for a couple minutes I kinda figured this was the case, guess I should have looked at more gun pics before I bought.

LOL. But your second "fact" isn't entirely true. Trees grow along their whole length, just like people
My brother sideswiped the family E150 van w/ a large pine when he was ~3 and left a huge scar (popped the E-brake off on our steep driveway.) Before the the tree fell 20 something years later the scar was above the 2nd story deck of the house. The tree that finally stopped his forward motion had a similar situation. But the one beside the deck was always a funny reminder of his first driving experience.

You would have to do some minor surgery if using that exact upper. You would either have to disassemble the barrel to remove the FSB, front handguard cap, and delta ring assembly...or you could cut down the FSB, cut the front handguard cap and remove, and cut and remove the delta ring assembly. It would look something like this:

yes this is the exact look I had in mind.
