AR-15 GAS BLOCK ALIGNER Reviews & Ratings

Plastic segmented rods fit into AR-15 gas ports and help you find correct alignment between barrel and gas block. Rods come in 6-paks, and in different lengths and diameters to fit the different gas port specs used by various manufacturers. Segmented construction lets you break the rod off with standard cleaning rod, and high-visibility orange color makes it easy to verify both portions are out of the gas system and barrel. Available in .22 Cal for .223/5.56 and .30 Cal for all calibers from .223/5.56 up to .30 caliber. Includes instructions.

OK but couldn't get it to break with a cleaning rod like was shown. Instead used it to center the block, make witness marks, remove the block and the peg, then reinstall the block to the witness marks. Not the way as advertised but still performed the end funtion.

Cheaper tool

I saw the video on this one as well decided. I would buy one, try it out. It is not for me. I had a hard time getting everything to work out right? It's not an easier tool to use. It is cheaper, it does work. But with a little practice, one can get better at aligning it..

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Good for .750 barrels.

This tool does not work well with barrels that have a .625 gas port journal (pencil barrels). The little pins are too long and will stick out of the gas port, preventing you from sliding your gas block on. You can cut them short, but if you leave any burrs or deform the end of the pin at all, they can become stuck in the gas port. This tool is good for thicker barrels though.

Didnt work for me

I used this for installing a low profile gas block on a Colt Socom profile barrel and all of the little pieces were too big. I feel like this should come with more sizes to accommodate more gas port sizes
