AR-15 GAS BLOCK LOW PROFILE

AR-15 GAS BLOCK LOW PROFILE Reviews & Ratings

Minimal-profile replacement for factory front sight/gas block won’t interfere with extended-length tactical forearms, while ensuring proper function of gas system for reliable cycling. Protrudes only .420' above barrel, covers less than 1' of barrel length, and adds only 1.4 oz. of weight. Compatible with M4-style carbines and M16A2/A3/A4-style rifles with any length, .750' O.D. barrel. Two steel setscrews keep the block securely anchored to the barrel to prevent shifting even under the force of full-auto recoil. Black oxide finish matches most factory barrel finishes. SPECS: Carbon steel, oxide finish, matte black. .950” (24mm) long. 1.375” (3.5cm) overall height. 1.4 oz. (41g) weight. Fits AR-15/M16 with .750” O.D. barrel at gas block mounting position.

.004" Smaller than barrel
I don't normally use this product...a customer brought it to me to install, including several other parts. It was .004 undersize of the barrel...was not impressed. Will have to heat it to install it...shouldn't have to be that far off. Someone is not checking their machine setup it looks like.

Junk
Too tight. wound up scratching the barrel and bending the gas tube getting this off because it did not fit correctly. Too tight for barrel and gas tube hole too small. Now have to order new gas tube and gas block. Threw it in the garbage. Checked other higher profile gas blocks I had on this barrel and gas tube and they fit no problem.

ID too tight!
Bought this for my son's first build. ID is too tight and won't even go 1/4 down the barrel. Tried a little grease, tapping with a block, way too tight. Maybe I just was just unlucky, but I'll try another product first.
