Most Helpful Positive Review Great gas block
This is the only gas block I use on uppers where the A2 front sight is going to be removed. Because it's a longer gas block, it covers the A2 tapper pin holes and has 3 set screws rather than 2 like most micro gas blocks. The extra set screw is nice. Can't go wrong with this gas block.

low-pro gas block

by Sesn, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on January 25, 2026
item is as advertised. I was replacing the A2 and plastic forend on my AR. This allowed for the installation of a full length handguard. Item shipped with fasteners and thread sealant.

MI Low Pro Gas Block .936

by Keith P, Verified Owner from NC, United States Written on August 25, 2024
Tight fit on my .936" gas journal that is over 1" long. You need to be able to fit up your (3x) set screw holes but that is easy enough with any jig that sets the first hole if you have a vise and drill press.
Pros:
  • Ease of insallation
Cons:
  • Need tools to install
Best Used for:
  • Any & All Builds
Would recommend: Yes

Nice product

by gene, Verified Owner from OH, United States Written on October 27, 2023
OK it is a gas block, normally the great price and the fact that it works flawlessly would be enough to put it on your AR but Midwest Industries went the extra mile and made it low profile so it will fit under a slimline handguard easily.

.625 gas block

by Victor, from FL, United States Written on January 17, 2023
Perfect tight fit on my 16-inch Faxon Pencil contoured barrel (which unfortunately is not dimpled for the set screws), and the gas block comes with 3 set screws for a more secure installation. Straight forward installation with no issues.

Cover the cuts.

by TBallistic, from WA, United States Written on October 24, 2022
Fantastic gas block for those barrels with the cuts for the A2 gas block pins you have in the parts department.

If you happen to have one of these barrels, get a new build going with it, and use this gas block.
Best Used for:
  • Barrels with the cuts for the A2 Gas Block Pins.

Best gas block for A2 removal

by Pew pew smith, Verified Owner from WA, United States Written on June 11, 2022
If you want to remove the factory A2 front sight, this is the block to have. Premium product that fits tight, covers the complete area the previous A2 covered. Looks factory and you can run aftermarket longer handguards of your choice.
Best Used for:
  • A2 sight removal

Low profile gas block

by GrantH, from CO, United States Written on April 3, 2021
This product is amazing. It has a very snug and tight fit on my barrel. It is very high quality and came out of the box without any scratches or chips. For the money, this gas block is absolutely worth it.

Fits perfect, light weight and well machined. I will be buying another.

by Mark, from MO, United States Written on February 13, 2021
Fits under the hand guard perfectly and is light weight and well machined. At first I thought it might not be as solid as a pinned mount but after installing it I can tell you it isn't going anywhere.

Midwest Industries low profile gas block

by Josh, from FL, United States Written on November 15, 2020
I really like this product especially for the price point. I feel it's better than a lot of other options that cost more. One thing that I really like about it is that it has 3 set screws compared to almost all the others only having 2 set screws. Id I do another build i will be using this again!
Pros:
  • Excellent value
Cons:
  • None
