Easy to install. Problem free!

Removing gas ring alignment issues from the equation simplifies troubleshooting rifle cycling issues. Since installing this one piece helical gas ring I've not experienced any problems.

Great product

Seems to work fine, installed this on a colt bolt. Ran several rounds through the firearm work great, just waiting to cycle a couple of hundred rounds through it. If there is no problem, I will install this helical ring on my other bolts

Everyone NEEDS this for their AR rifle

These are a God Send. PERIOD!! You NEVER have to worry again if your gas rings somehow got lined up and you're losing pressure to reliably eject or load cartridges in your AR rifle. These are just like SNAP RINGS for your car keys, spread one end apart, NO, they won't break, they're made to be pulled apart over your bolt, SO RELAX. I will admit they are a little hard to get one end started into the bolt groove, but once you get an end into the groove, HOLD IT THERE, and then move the remaining part of ring around the bolt until the entire unit snaps into place, and you're done!! I use SLIP2000 to lubricate them, and then clean your gun after shooting like you would any other part (NO, you don't have to take these off, clean the best you can and then lubricate again). These are on ALL of my AR rifles!!! You won't be disappointed, guaranteed.....

One time easy install.

I like these gas rings over OEM style rings because they seal really good. I have been using them for over 15 years now. I like them so much I use them in all 13 of my AR's.

Great product

These rings reduce the friction between the bolt and the bolt carrier, while providing an adequate gas seal for the gun operate reliably. They are easy to install will last for a lifetime.

Solid build

Easy to put on bolt but very sharp edges. I cut my fingers twice with out knowing it. I havent shot rife yet. It seems solidly built.
