Rule # 2 ...... Trust no one !!!!! Fire the gun before you modify it !!!
Once you have shot it then , change the parts you do not like.
Since your not planning to use a suppressor then there is no real need for an adjustable gas block. It should be used as a bandaid to fix issues. If your current works please do not change it unless the handguard does not fit. The best place for your fancy new adjustable gas block is in your spare parts box waiting for the next build !
As far as the air can test , SS and I have gone over this several times . please do a search in this forum.
