You shouldn't have to get a A2 sight. If its a rifle length gas tube then all you need is a [hand guard cap] (https://www.amazon.com/Handguard-Mil-Spec-Standard-Retainer-Replacement/dp/B00MNS35EU) placed IFO the gas block.
Sure thing. First of all, this only applies if you chose the MOE SL and not the standard MOE handguard. Also, my understanding is that the issue only relates to most mid-length but not carbine uppers. So if you bought a mid-length MOE SL handguard then this may apply to you.
Basically it boils down to the fact that, due the slimness of the handguard, it will only fit into a round handguard cap. There is absolutely no way to make it work with a triangular cap. Unfortunately, roughly 80% of the mid-length uppers out there come with a triangular cap installed. This includes PSA's uppers. This means that you will likely have to swap out the hand guard cap in order to fit this particular guard to your barrel.
Although this can be done for really cheap (Round Handguard Cap Mil-Spec A R Standard Retainer OE Replacement - $6.33) it will require that you take most of your barrel apart. This requires some specialized tools. I recommend the following:
