First off, let me say that I've not put this to use yet. Big change of plans so to speak! Almost two weeks in the hospital really slowed down my new build! I do have it secured to the barrel though. I was quite skeptical at first about the three screws to hold the gas block to the barrel without dimpling the barrel to hold it securely in place! But it really seems to be quite secure! Red Loctite so the screws won't back out. I waited a day for the Loctite to be set up and tried to twist it out of place with my hands, but I couldn't budge it! The system to set the gas anyway you need to set it is remarkably easy! That's what sold me on this adjustable gas block in the first place! And it doesn't add much weight with the way Faxon has removed a lot of the metal with the large holes in the sides! I think you'll like it!
Pros:
- Very light weight
- EASIER TO INSTALL
- easier to adjust

I have 5 of these on different uppers. One on .458 about 600 rounds. One on .556 proof carbon barrel with around 6000 rounds. Best advice is buy this and put neverseize on the threads. Hold the denting back and run the screw all the way out, grease, put it back in. Setting 18 plus is in the mode that puts the excess gas outside of the carrier. It will last forever like this. All the other brands seize around 5000 give or take and are not as serviceable.

I have two, one on a DD UPPER and one on an aero upper, both of which I run suppressed. Over 2000 rounds through both gas blocks and no issues. Adjustment screw never moves due to recoil but never locks up due to carbon. I can’t recommend this enough, just make sure you install it correctly and red loctite the screws. You can’t blame the product for bad installation. Mine has never come loose.
Would recommend: Yes

Haven’t tested yet but so far fits and looks great. Gas tube can be a little difficult to install since the adjustable part of the gas block can slip off but it’s not to bad with the right tools.

What else is there to say? It does what it describes. After 1000+ rounds, the adjustment screw did not move to another setting.

OP shipped the order out really quickly. Packed well. The gas block installed without problem. I had it adjusted to give a 3:30-4:00 ejection in 6 rounds from fully closed. Well made, works perfectly.

Everything promised on this adjustable gas block was right on spot. Made my gun shot perfectly with the suppressor . A little time figuring out the right adjustment but well worth it.

Much more easy to adjust, with 14 different positions. Also, importantly, this design fouls much less than others, and mounting is very easy and very secure with the three set screws across the bottom.
Pros:
- Very easy to adjust. Fouling miuch lets significant.
- Fouling much less significant. Easy to adjust through 14 settings.
- Fouling is much less of a factor with this design. Very easy to adjust through 14 settings.
Cons:
- None that I have found yet.
