Odin Works Low Profile Block
For this product, Odin changed from their click adjustable style and they use two set screws-one for adjustment and one to lock it in place. This style is bad for a couple reasons-when shot a lot, it freezes in place so you can never readjust and sometimes these work loose before freezing in place causing you to lose your adjustment. Also, they could have trimmed this model up more, especially on the raised section where the gas tube goes.
