Yes, I have measured. My barrel diameter is .936. The vendor is on vacation till the 1st of April, I will make certain of all the dimensions of the new block before I buy.

Here is an interesting take on the micro gas block, There appears to be an allen screw that regulates the amount of gas that goes to cycle the weapon. I'm going to give one of these a try and see what comes of it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181693587346?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Thanks for doing that for me.

Uhmm, so you think my "Hunter" may be a mid length? Does that matter if I'm using a low gas block?

I see, well, thats easy.

Thank you again Wash, Here is what I am looking at as a possibility: http://www.apexhandguard.com/2650-308-dpms-12-625-rifle-length-10-4-oz-with-hardware-apex-gatorgrip-handguard/ Lowered gas blocks are all over the place, Is the gas port sealed in any way? I've yet to take it apart to see how it mates with the barrel in there. At my age BUIS' aren't an option, therefore having a continuous "topline" on the weapon doesn't matter to me as much as having the extra hand guard length. This rifle will probably only punch paper and the occasional coyote. If, as they say, the TSHTF, there are plenty of more suitable options available to me. wink, wink.

Thanks Wash! I would delete that picture if I knew how! So, it's called a Highrise? Makes sense. I've got the diameter of my barrel written down here somewhere, .9 something.......I really appreciate your help!

Well, this is interesting. The height of my upper above the charging handle is ½ inch. Mine isn't even listed on the G II brochure. Where do I go from here?

I don't know how to determine which LR I have, Gen 1, Gen 2. What's the skinny?

Hey all, Anybody know of a manufacturer that makes an M1A style set of NM sights for the DPMS LR 308? That would be with the hooded rear aperture. Thanks in advance!
