Great Gas Block.
Gas block went on the barrel like a charm, no problems and worked great.
Would you recommend this?
Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Good fit. Good quality.
Went perfectly on my .936 barrel. It barely clears my mloc free float hand guard but does give enough clearance. Top side of gas block is fine on clearance.
Great value
I have installed a number of these gas blocks. They are very easy to install and with the three set screws it is easy to line up and went tight it stays put. When I build again, this is the gas block that I will use.
RE SASS DPMS Barrel (DO NOT USE)
Brownell's was out of the DPMS 0.936 in. gas block so I ordered this, yes it's a well made product, nice & heavy for abuse, but will not fit the DPMS SASS .308 bbl. as I found out trying to pound this gas block on the SASS bbl., the gas tube hole on the block is lower than the thick bbl., so I put a little wrinkle on the gas tube, that said, it's a well made product, if I didn't break it trying to get on the SASS bbl., it won't break. Saving it for another build with a need for 0936 bbl
Great Buy
I have a couple builds in the works. Purchased this gas block to replace the stock A2 site block on my Colt Hbar. Looks great and fit my barrel perfect. My only complaint is that the set screw holes were not milled to 1.375 to align with barrel's taper pin channels. The rear set screw fit one channel but not the front. I doubt there will be any issues, but I found it curious why this wouldn't be standard. I will be purchasing another in the very near future.
Great product
I only use these gas blocks for my builds. Someone recommended these to me some time ago and i've never looked back.machined well, nice finish and the fit is exceptional i have yet to mar or scratch a barrel using these. So consistency is there . The price is even better and comes with gas tube roll pin. you will have to time it with the gas port on barrel if not using handgaurd end cap such as on A2 handgaurd. It also looks good at the end of the barrel if not using an extended handgaurd also covers-up old unsightly gas port area and brings a nice finish to an upper build. Buy with confidence.
The best gas block.
In my opinion, this is probably the best set screw gas block you can buy. As another reviewer said, they are built like a tank. I think they will fit under any rail, including the slim versions. I also like that this gas block has 3 set screws for extra holding ability. Once they are tightened down, the gas block isn't moving. I dimpled the barrels of my first two uppers that I built using this gas block. But, the last one I recently built, I didn't bother. I'm that confident in it staying put. These will be the only gas blocks I buy from now on. Also, the gas block comes with a pack of Vibra-tite and a gas block roll pin, which is a nice touch.
Top Of The Line
This thing is a tank! Dont waste time and money on anything else. With three set screws it just wont move. If you dimple the barrel on all three screws it will last to the end of days. Low profile worked great under a Fortis REV free float rail. Installed easily over Colt factory barrel.
Great product!
There are not many options for the .625 diameter barrels. This block has a good finish and fit great on a Bushmaster pencil barrrel. This locks down with 3 set screws and is very solid. I like tha fact they include a new gas tube roll pin also.
QUALITY PRODUCT
USED THIS GAS BLOCK ON MY CUSTOM BUILD, EASY TO INSTALL AND LOOKS GREAT.
