Welcome to our latest video where we dive deep into the art of installing a gas block on the AR-15! Whether you’re a seasoned builder or new to AR platform rifles, here are a couple things we have learned along the way. Hope it helps!
In this video, you’ll learn:
The importance of proper gas block installation for optimal performance
Tools and materials you’ll need for the job
Tips and tricks to avoid common pitfalls and ensure a secure fit
How to check for alignment and function to avoid cycling issues
On the gas block alignment I use a 2 foot rubber hose pushed onto the gas tube, I blow air through the tube as I rotate the block on the barrel. That will always find you the sweet spot
Use a borescope to check alignment. Eyeing it with a T handle is crazy.
Appreciate the video.
I wish my palmetto didnt need an adjustable block. Its passed the bcg bench test etc. But it does seems like im shooting my own brass at times. My buddy who knows way more than i says its the hardest recoiling 15 hes shot. The wuestion i have is doesnt that wear the bcg and upper faster and if so how much? I dont mind it for now, but i dont want to wear anything 2-5x etc faster..
Great video
Thank you
In a barrel that doesn’t have a pinned gas block, how do you ensure your gas port is lined up correctly to the gas block? Specifically on a superlative arms bleed off gas block and a ballistic advantage govt profile barrel
Talking about gas systems, I have a side charging AR that I would like to use it as single shot "Bolt action type" if you will, and the reason for that is I live in California and I want to keep all my evil features without the need of a fix mag cause I already have 2 of those and I don't like it. My question is: Is it safe to remove the gas tube and block the gas port?
Does the gas block index against the barrel shoulder or should there be a small gap. I've seen it done both ways for different reasons. Thanks.
