How To Tune Your AR-15 Adjustable Gas Block – with Jesse Tischauser – OpticsPlanet.com

Are 🇹🇷 shipments in Turkey

Is it just me but direct impingement guns are rather difficult to adjust? It's not like the FAL, where you can just move the dial left and right on the spot.

I’m having issue’s with FTF & FTE on my AR-10 shotgun . I haven’t check to see if it has an adjustable gas block yet . If it does I will try your technique . If it doesn’t should I try a different spring & buffer . Or replace it to an adjustable block ? Also I have seen damaged aluminum blocks . Would you recommend an adjustable stainless steel block . If so what kind would you recommend . I would like it to be reliable . It is an Utas 12 gauge . Thank You It is a Rod Operating System ..

not all gas blocks have an adjustable screw

I have an "Anderson Manufacturing Low Profile Adjustable Gas Block – .750" – Set Screw Style." However as I am trying to adjust the gas block with my Allen Wrench, it does not seem to be locking onto something. It literally just feels like I am sticking a 5/64 wrench into an empty hole. Can someone please confirm if there is supposed to be a small screw in the port where you adjust? I believe I may be missing something here on the gas block itself.

Thank you for getting straight to the point and providing great instruction.

This is how you YouTube. Take notes vloggers!

If you have too much could it tear off the boat tail with the ejector leaving the casing in the chamber?

I have a question.

Why is the charging handle go back everytime you shoot a round to lock the bolt? Idk how some AR-15s work.

So is your charging handle broken? Why the heck does it keep flying back at your when the bolt lock back ?

Tried this but the adjustment screw is too far out that it will make contact with my handguard any suggestions?

Thanks dad

THANKS VERY WELL MADE VIDEO I HEARD FROM ANOTHER VIDEO THAT HIS WASNT LOCKIN BACK THE WAY IT SHOULD BUT THIS SHOWS N TELLS US WHY THANKS AGAIN CHIEF

My Oden Works adjustible, clicks as you turn it. Makes it simple to adjust as you want, say for a suppressor.

Jason Statham??!!! Bloody Hell!

When you think you have the gas block adjusted where you want it turn your rifle to the left, right, and upside down and fire from each position. What I have found is that at times the gas may be enough to lock the bolt back while fired from a normal position but with the gun fired from an odd angle it may need more gas.

Thank you. About to start on my first AR 15 build, trying to learn all the information I can!

I always taught that even if you can get the bolt to lock, the gas block may not be properly tuned. I understood that with the muzzle being 12:00 and the charging handle being 6:00, the cases should eject 20-30 degrees beyond the 3:00 position and slightly to the rear of the shooter. Cases ejecting anywhere ahead of 3:00 = under gassed. Or is that an old wives tail?

Dude, nice video. Thank you

But how do you know if your gas block is adjustable ?

Very good explanation. Odin Works dropped the ball on explaining the process!

Your gun can be over gassed too.

Haha, your lower says “Boomer”.😂

In Have two ar rifles. But you'd think after all the years rifles have been around amd when it was first made a blow back would of not been considered

I want to be just as cool as you when I grow up

Thank you …good presentation…I won’t drop mags like that unless I’m on the fight or flight situation or if I have some kind of a cloth or cushion on the table to protect the mags

Would have been cool if you would have continued tuning …to show how to get the ideal 3oclock ejection …..but im sure its not terribly hard to figure out

Why is the charging handle popping backwards? Is it some sort of competition one that is supposed to do that?

Jesse, what system does the Sig Sauer M400 have? Gas? I used an AR at a job I used to have and it hardly had any recoil…lately I've been shooting the Sig Sauer M400 and it recoils a lot compared to the AR I had at work.

You might not want to remove the adjusting screw all the way out to put loctite on it. Rather most of the way out. You dont want to get it on the tip of the screw and into the orifice where it would harden.

Just found your channel. THANKS! I just got a PSA Gen 2, 6.5 & its carrier bolt was slamming HARD into the recoil assy. WAY overgassed. It has the adjustment & the lock for it. Your instruction saved me from having to send the damn thing back. PSA did NOT send any instructions w the unit. Subbed!

Can you make a video with the SLR sentry 6? Tyia

You can but gas blocks that are adjustable for different types of ammo and reloads that you can adjust like a fnfal

Can we tune the rifle even with the handguard on?

What about if you plan on adding a suppressor to the gun? Should you back it off even more or keep it at the bare min for locking the bolt back?

Won't your hand get burnt by the barrel?

like that scarred barrel. shows it aint a safe queen

Followed these instructions and worked perfectly. Thank you very much!

With how hot the gas blocks get, is locktite still effective?
