superlative arms adj. gas block

[rcnut]

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

If you got it from brownells I would reach out to them, their CS is pretty awesome from what I've always heard

Sounds like it was mispackaged. Brownells should fix you up, they are top notch.

contacted Brownells and they said that a customer service rep will get in contact with me. now we wait

That's a mis-packaged .936" gas block.  Brownell's will take care of you.

I was just going to say the same thing

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
