In this installment of the Briefing Room, we talk about a vital piece to your AR15, the gas block. Mounting and having he gas block securely fastened to the barrel is a critical step of proper rifle assembly. Sadly there are still many manufacturers and even more builders that take short cuts when securing a low profile gas block on a barrel. In this video we talk about two of the different methods, excluding clamp on block, and the process for each. Hopefully this helps you in maybe your future build or knowing what to look for when looking at rifles.

do you know which manufacturers sell barrels that are dimpled or pinned? not sure why they just won't do that..
On using the set screw method, if you tighten down too much would that affect the barrel inside?
Great video! What are your thoughts on the clamp on models like Superlative Arms?
Thanks for the details!
Congratulations on the weight loss !
My bcm gas block looks slightly canted is that okay?
Dang! How'd you lose the weight if you don't mind me asking?
any how to info on how to pin the gas block. I have a drill press
I wish BCM pinned their low profile gas blocks (or at least offered the option). They told me that they have never had one single one of their gas blocks come lose. But they only use one dimple, not two. I’ve been thinking about buying they jig to pin it myself. Do you think I should do that?
Where can I purchase the gas block jig shown in the video?
Awesome video! Love your channel. The info you provide is second to none. Keep it up!
Congrats on all the lost weight! Great job. That is not easy to do at all. Love your channel, only wish there was more. More vids on tools please.
Would staking the set screws make them more secure if I wasn't able to get it pinned?
The HM defense monobloc barrel has no added gas block . It's the best way to go and 100% no failure
I was going to buy a BCM upper I decided to just go with their standard A2 front sight
Dude you have lost a ton of weight. Good job!
