My plan was just to remove the portion of the top tube that would mate up with a gas tube if the rifle had one.You still could just cut tube part off the top as it appears the square mounting base of gas key is what prevents rotation the way i see it with your pics and other diagrams I have looked at. I will reserve final judgement until I look at a physical specimen when I get home.
After looking at it again, the head of the cam pin rides in that slot as well so maybe that would prevent the carrier from rotating if the gas key was completely removed. My gas key is poorly staked so I think for education purposes I will pop it off tomorrow and see if it rotates. And I will try with and without the cam pin installed. My bet now is it will rotate with cam pin out and won't rotate with cam pin installed.
