rcnut Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 I got Ballistic Advantage barrel it said it will take a .875 gas block, measured my barrel when I got it and it measured .875 so that is correct, then I ordered a Superlative arms adjustable clamp on gas block from brownells along with a mid length gas tube., I test fit the gas block,(slid it on) and all seemed well so I attached the gas tube to the block. when I installed the block on the barrel and tightened it all the way it was LOOSE !!! so loose that it could roll around the barrel. so I slid it off and measured the block with the screws tight and clamped together, it measured .922 with NO room to tighten it any more. am I missing something or did superlative arms miss package this block for brownells? is there suppose to be a gasket included or is it suppose to clamp TIGHT to the barrel? I feel somewhat bad because I have the gas tube installed on the block and don't know if I should contact where I bought it from or should I contact Superlative arms directly, either way I need a different block and tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 If you got it from brownells I would reach out to them, their CS is pretty awesome from what I've always heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Sounds like it was mispackaged. Brownells should fix you up, they are top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a mis-packaged .936" gas block. Brownell's will take care of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcnut Posted March 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 sorry no photos of it on the barrel but I can tell you that when you get the screws tightened down it would spin around the barrel , I sent back the old one, and brownells sent a new one, installed like OJ's glove before I even touched the screws, very happy and ready to take it to the range to get the gas block adj. correctly then just wait for the scope. the older I get the less patience I have. tick tock tick tock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
