Helpful Positive Review A++ Gas Block by Mark Kuehn, March 11, 2025
I own 3 of these adjustable/bleed off gas blocks. 2 are steel and one (this one) titanium. This is simply beautiful and well built. The bleed off option is amazing and to me is the best gas block ability. I love the clamp on style instead of the set ...

Helpful Positive Review Reliable must have for tuning by Kintrp, July 20, 2023
This adjustable gas block is one of the nicest ones I have tried, a must have for suppressed tuning. Don’t give up if you are having trouble, the buffer spring, weight and gas block adjustments must be working in conjunction to properly tune.

Most Recent Reviews Gas fine tuner by RJS, Verified Owner, May 19, 2025
I use Superlative for all of my ARs. Allows you to fine tune your rifle for best performance. If you have the option when you are selecting a barrel, get an enlarged gas block port.
Most Recent Reviews excited to try by fox, Verified Owner, October 13, 2024
Since switching away from the switch lock I’m excited to see how this compares since it’s tunable for my Gucci build. Titanium worth the premium? Prob not. Not like the standard part is heavy

Most Recent Reviews Great design by DannyC, September 9, 2024
The SA gas block design gives the ability for gas adjustment by restriction OR bleed off. I have found and they recommend that the bleed off mode be used as it will not foul the set screw and seize it up. Other adj gas blocks only offer a restricti...

Features of Superlative Arms Titanium Adjustable Bleed Off Gas Block

  • The pressure used in the block is reduced only to the amount required to drive the bolt carrier. The remaining gas and pressure are bled out of the block allowing the system to run much cleaner and cooler.
  • Reduction of wear on the bolt carrier group components and upper receiver.
  • Reduction of felt recoil allowing for faster follow-up shots.
  • Patented adjustment detent is located outside of the block and therefore no contamination.
  • In Bleed Off Mode the gas adjustment screw does not restrict the gas flow; therefore, there is no erosion or seizing of the screw, and no loss of detent due to carbon build up. Although it is removable, we have added a safety mechanism, which stops you from unintentionally backing the screw all the way out.
  • When using SBRs and/or suppressors the Bleed Off port allows the excessive pressure to be exhausted out of the block reducing blow back.
