I am thinking about building a dissipoter upper but with a free float. I know I will not be able to do standard F-post site. I was thinking either a railed gas block or low profile with long handguard. I am leaning towards a low profile gas block with long handguard on a stripped dissaptor barrel for the cleaner look.

Why not? Plenty of options out there. Google 'free float dissiapator' for lots of pictures to give you ideas. What type of handguard are you thinking? Quadrail? M-lok?

You can do a faux dissipator with mid lengthgas barrel and lo-pro gas block under the handguard and then use an F-marked FSB pinned to the barrel at rifle length... Barrel options basically unlimited if you do that.

It will depend on the barrel. I know if I go true 16" brrel with rifle gas system I will be limited to what I can find, many appear to be on the heavier side though I have found few in gov't profile. The heavier the barrel the lighter the handguard. Still trying to decide on what sights to go with, this will most likely be an iron sights only rifle. So I was sort of thinking detachable carry handle with a rail mount front sight.

Basically you are talking about a Recce build. It should have mid length gas with a 14.5" barrel w/a pinned welded muzzle device to bring it to 16".

These are great rifles and run smother than carbines. They also give you a longer sight length for iron sights. I put a 1-4 scope on my Recce build and it is a great all around rifle.
