washguy Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Mag i dont have one but this one gets good reviews and its click lock http://www.midwayusa.com/product/332827/syrac-ordnance-gen-ii-click-adjustable-gas-block-ar-15-lr-308-standard-barrel-0750-inside-diameter-low-profile-black-meloniteWash
Robocop1051 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 Syrac and SLR seem to be the most popular. I think it's because of how easy they are to adjust, and they lock into place.As for "click adjustment" I'm not sure that exists... but I could easily be very wrong. The closest thing I can think of is the old Noveske Switch Block. Not sure they are still being made.
shibiwan Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 The whole point of a 300 blk is not needing to reconfigure the gas system when switching between supers and subs. What's your build like Magwa? Perhaps something is not right with it.

But I do have one! And it is click-adjustable, adjusts from the front, comes with a long allen wrench if your hand guard extends out past the gas block. My rifle is recently completed, still in the break-in, sighting-in stage, so have not actually used the adjustment. Had a Seekins and dumped it for this one during the build, because I found out that one adjusted from the back - yes, really dumb. Guy at Mega who did some work on my rifle liked the Syrac gas block.
mineralman55 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 The Syrac is an absolute dream. I have a gen 1 on my first 308, and a gen 2 ready for my second. Properly adjusted, it tames the recoil and throws the cases into a nice little pile at 4 o'clock.
Magwa Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Posted October 9, 2015 My build is a 10and 1/2 in. barrel, pistol gas , pistol buffer and spring, I have put over 200 rounds through it with no malfunctions of any kind but it throws the brass 10 feet or more i want to tone it down to more like 2 ft I shoot suppressed loads 98%of the time with a aac sdn762-6
D.R.D. Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I go this one on sale for $25. No idea if it will work. http://www.primaryarms.com/Radical_Firearms_Low_Profile_Adjustable_Gas_Block_p/rf-adj-.750.htmI've too heard good things about Syrac and SLR Edited October 9, 2015 by D.R.D.
392heminut Posted October 9, 2015 Report Posted October 9, 2015 I've got two of the Radical Firearms adjustable gas blocks. I got them for $25 each on a blem sale. One is on my competition AR15 and seems to work just fine, mid-gas on 16" barrel. The other is going on my Matrix .308 build. They seem to be pretty good for the price!
Magwa Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Posted October 12, 2015 sounds like Syrac is the way to go ... as always thank you ladies.......... :)
jtallen83 Posted October 12, 2015 Report Posted October 12, 2015 I have not used one but check out the SLR block. I was impressed by the designs lack of small parts, looks like a real solid block. pricy though!http://slrrifleworks.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=57
ChaseFan9 Posted October 18, 2015 Report Posted October 18, 2015 What are the outer dimensions on these blocks? I'm looking for the same thing, Mag, but it needs to fit under a FF handguard....

That's about the only relevant measurement Seekins omitted from the site. I think that'll work, though.
washguy Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 Chase nope dont know the width,but im using them on my BCM KMR rails which are very small in diameter.... Wash
ChaseFan9 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 What's the I.D. of that BCM KMR? I can't find specs anywhere on their site, but I'm mainly worried about the height and the gas tube channels width.

Handguard alone weighs 7.7oz! <<<<< who gives a crap? 1.3” Inner Diameter1.5” OUTSIDE flat to flat.Handguard flares forward (towards muzzle end) at the 3 and 9 O'clock positions approximately 1/4" This rail will not fit your ar308.....just showing you that a seekins adj gas block will fit under the smallest diameter handguard ....the seekins should fit under anything you have Wash Edited October 19, 2015 by washguy

The Matrix keymod handguard is slightly bigger internally, so that Seekins agb should work. Thanks again, Wash <thumbsup>Edit: I miss emoticons Edited October 19, 2015 by ChaseFan9 because I still can't figure them out
MikedaddyH Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Wash you are putting weight s on items... That's is not good ! You have been reading your "buddy Al from Las Vegas " post too much. That's a bad influence ! LOL Edited October 19, 2015 by MikedaddyH

washguy Posted October 19, 2015 Report Posted October 19, 2015 OUCH! ;-)OUCH I didnt do it on purpose...it was a cut n paste from bravo's website... $hit I completely missed it ! Wash

washguy Posted October 20, 2015 Report Posted October 20, 2015 Chase here's a lil tip on the seekins...what I have done is tighten the tension allen screw which is on the end to where it makes the gas adjusting allen screw a tad hard to turn ....then when you adjust the gas screw it stays where you want it...I did put a drop of locktite on the gas screw....these are gonna slay dome deers in a few weeks....Im still able to turn the gas screw if needed....the locktite hasnt burned off after a couple of range session.... I think it was 8 turns from closed to wide open and i have them set at 4 turns in....gas port is .08260 using an orange sprinco spring and dpms car308 buffer....it shoots 168 match down to 150gr soft point hunting loads without fail Wash

Granted, I am a little late starting, but there's still time. Which Loctite did you use? I was thinking that purple stuff will work, right? That Seekins block is going on Criterion's rifle length 16" (gotta remeasure the gas port), so I might have to play with it to reliably function, but that's half the fun, right?Btw, I forgot to ask, Wash, is that weight with or without optics? XD
