What Reviewers Are Saying

Installation and Fit

Many users commend the gas block for its straightforward installation process. However, several reviews indicate compatibility issues with certain handguards, leading to a need for additional modifications. A recurring point is that it may not fit well under some slim free float rails, affecting rod usability.

Performance and Adjustability

70%

This conflicting feedback showcases varying experiences regarding performance longevity.

No support from Odin

Works well, when it works... nice granular control of the gas. It will eventually clog. I grabbed an old non-adjustable gas block and bought mated it with a carbine length tube to make swapping out at the range a lot easier, so I could continue shooting when it would clog. A few more clogs later, I decided to have a (now ex) gunsmith clean it, figuring it must be me, but he stripped one of the set screws. --> Multiple contact attempts to Odin for replacement set screw, no response. Can't even tell if they got the message and there's no phone number. Now $85 is sitting on the shelf, as I have to use my $25 non-adjustable GB until I hear from them. I don't want to become a gunsmith or drive all over town to find some tiny set screw. Wish I had bought something else.

Not "low profile" as advertised

I originally purchased this gas block for my 18" DMR build with an Aero Precision ATLAS R-ONE Handguard and it does not fit under the rail. The gas block is heavier and made of carbon steel versus the Superlative Arms Adjustable gas block which is stainless steel. I like that Odin offers a rebuild kit as a bonus but this product needs to be slimmed down and made of stainless to increase corrosion resistance.
