survivalshop Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I like this one & I'm not a fan of adj. gas Blocks . http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/gas-system-parts/gas-blocks/ar-15-2-pc-detent-gas-block-low-profile-750-steel-black-sku452000221-97733-192698.aspx?sku=452000221&utm_medium=email&utm_source=marketo&utm_campaign=2016_12_22_newproducts&utm_content=newproducts&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTlRKalltTTRObVUzT0RGayIsInQiOiJjRjNaQlwvYVV2d0U2SUZuQ3FNMFdVUG5OOGtibStBbDRzWGZMbjB4Y0pXQTBxNUhcL1FtMGZjTkZxUGF6MktUN0VQUXM2d0xCTU5yVTZVVkVNUjRSbGNnZ1pZVGlFdFJ6SmxHeDlwUlBpSVhvTnZRRUVIc25VZVJaUlhmdFZDK0tGIn0%3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtallen83 Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 I like the "finer adjustment" but they don't go into how many turns you get on the screw, just six clicks per rotation. Wonder how this compares to SLR's 15 position adjustment? Not sure I see the side adjustment as "easy access", that's only true if your rail doesn't get in the way. I don't care for peeking down the muzzle of my rifle trying to hit the hole on my lightweight build but I'd never get to it if it were on the side, unless I drilled a hole. If I do another build with pinned and welded muzzle device this would be the block for me without a doubt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted December 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) My Superlative Arms Piston kit Rifle has the adj. in the front & I have a Mid length gas system with a 12" Hand Guard . It is odd looking down the barrel , I try to look from off to the side, then down the Barrel & they gave an extra long Alien wrench for adj. , which works fine , even with the Gas Block so far in . It reads six clicks per turn , so I would think it have more then one revolution , but you never know , JP's sight shows a little different photo. I don't mind Clamp type Gas Blocks , because its all I use , but I don't care for complete two piece ones . Six screws though should hold it on with out issue & some loctite .

jtallen83 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I don't understand the purpose of bleeding off gas from the block? Why not just take what you need to run the action and leave the rest pushing the bullet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just take what you need to run the action and leave the rest pushing the bullet? Probably more efficient way of regulating gas impulse , also cleaner , less recoil . With a cut off valve type of regulator , it would probably carbon foul at some point . With gas being diverted , it may be self cleaning . All speculation on my part , but makes sense . My Superlative Piston system is a dream to shoot , I actually impressed with the lack of any recoil .

JJ109 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 Well i was looking at SLR or Superlative for my current light weight build. Im using a Faxon barrel just figured i would buy the gas block from them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
