I purchased this adjustable gas block to compliment my DPMS pattern build in 6.5 Creedmoor as I am using the JP Low Mass BCG and captured buffer spring. The block arrived promptly and initial impression was very high quality. For those that are not aware, you will need to purchase a 6-32 bottoming tap for a proper installation of the gas tube adjustment screw, as well as proper threadlocker compound. Other than that JP supplies a torx and allen wrench. Installation is not the easiest just because there are so many more screws compared to a standard set screw block, but again quality is unmatched. Unfortunately this block although low profile, was not low profile enough as the block's 8 clamping screws pressed against my hand guard (SLR Ultra Light 15" MLOK). Since that defeats the purpose of a free float setup, I decided against running this block setup. Unfortunately I installed this block and am unable to return it, but hopefully this will keep others from running into the same problem. Interesting enough, even SLR's Sentry 9 touched the hand guard and I ended up using a Syrac Ordnance as it offered the lowest profile and detent adjustments. Final rating is 4 stars because of slight hand guard compatibility issues, and need for special tools to install. I am confident it would have 5 star performance though.
