Best low profile gas block for LR-308?

[KeithB]

i bought a cheap alum block, bad move.  20'" Mega barrel.

What have yall used?  I prefer clamp type.

looking at JP adjustable (like the 4 clamping screws) or SLR rifleworks adjustable

  I like the Steel clamp on's myself , but have Aluminum ones that seem to work fine also . That JP adj. with the four screws looks massive , not a bad thing in some ways .I use so many different ones , its hard to say which I like the best , but one made of steel would be my first choice . I really don't care for Adj. ones ,but I can see a use for them in some circumstances .

Syrac adjustable. It's great!

alum probably ok, but i bought a $10 one , it leaks really bad where it mates to the barrel  causing short cycling. I have double checked everything else has to me my problem

I have the JP Adjustable .750 on my .308 build (Faxon 18" Mid Length) and it has worked perfectly.  I can recommend it as being an excellent product.

You get what you pay for . If you want a good Aluminum Block , you will pay much more for it . The JP is made of Aluminum , but not for $ 10.?

anyone used a SLR rifleworks adjustable?

[Robocop1051]

With an .875" barrel, I was limited in my options. I have a DPMS steel set screw version. If the rest of your rifle is squared away, there won't be any difference between a $35 steel LP/GB and a $100 Adj GB.

I think i am going with the SLR

I had a PWS and went with a JP adjustable.  I was still playing around with it (fine tuning) when it got pretty damn cold where I am.  I've been thoroughly impressed at the fit, finish, and how they have engineered the adjustable component(s).  I had a few light strikes that I was experiencing and am still trying to figure if it was the ammo or the block needing further adjustment.  I think it was the ammo due to the inconsistencies.
