Steel Gas Block
Written on Dec 30, 2022
I bought this due to all the reviews here and elsewhere stating this gas block has a tight fit. The tighter a gas block fits on the barrel journal, the better the seal. Unfortunately, the steel gas block does not seem to have tighter tolerances than anything else on the market at the moment. Battle Arms now discontinued titanium block always needed to be lightly tapped into place. I'm keeping this one. It will be fine, but it's nothing extraordinary in either weight or fit. V Seven's titanium gb will get you the same fitment with less weight and an extra set screw holding it in place for better durability.
Loose Tolerances
Written on Dec 18, 2020
Very well machined & finished, lightweight, aesthetically pleasing. So, why am I giving it 3 stars? The barrel extension to receiver fit is very loose. If you're from the school that finds a nice easy slip fit desirable, have at it, you'll love this. I know, for most users barrel nut torque holding the barrel is good enough.
I'm not one of those users. Ideally, I like to have to thermal fit barrel to upper, but I'll settle for a snug press fit when I have to. This is neither. Back to OP it's going.
