Why don’t you have the 16” without a gas block? You sell every other one with or without one

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on August 16, 2022

Unfortunately, we only carry the Daniel Defense 16" barrel with a gas block. We do carry multiple other barrel options that do not include a gas block and can be found by using the link below:

Q
Marc M, guest, from CA, United States, asked on January 26, 2021

Will you ship a barrel to CA

A
Answered by Brandon, member, from UT, United States, on March 08, 2021

It is entirely dependent on State, County, and City laws. These laws are changing frequently, and it isn't possible for Gear Experts to stay up on all of them. You can place an order for the barrel, if there are any issues with shipping to you, our Compliance and Risk Management Teams will review your order (if necessary) and will reach out to you to make any changes.
