I'm not sure about any "2-piece" free float tubes other that the Troy and samson.
I couldn't agree more and doing it yourself will make you a better shooter and when you're done you've got the tools to do other jobs as well. It would be a Sin, not to learn this stuff yourself..
I always recommend the YouTube as a great aid for instruction. If you want to do it, someone already has, and put it on the YouTube. Consider the following..

On this one notice the Hand guard removal tool, you won't need mussels or an assistant to get the hand guards off with one of these.And finally, view this one and go to the site recommended in the clip. All this should start you on the road to a real Root'en-Toot'em Gun Hack and quite frankly, smelling like the guys that hang with the Mudder..

I myself have a desk in the corner of my Range Lab and yesterday looked at some larger flat screens, to be used in conjunction with the standard computer screen, in a two screen configuration. The new large screen to be placed in the corner, well above head hight, so that all in the shop can see the instructions and learn together.
Now, go forth and Sin no more..t
