Great concept, seems so simple it's ingenious!

I love the concept.

The reason I would buy one of these would be to be able to switch from suppressed to unsuppressed without tools. This would especially be useful on a 308.

I'm not seeing that functionality in the videos, however. The guys doing the testing show that you can get it to cycle in one mode or the other, but not an ideal setting for both cases. And the NFA review guy seems to have given up in the middle of the video and switched to emphasizing "gas face" when the desired effect on rate of fire didn't go as planned.

Would you have to change the plunger to go from "just enough gas to cycle suppressed" to "just enough to cycle unsuppressed"?

Interesting...sure would like to try one out.

Cool, slightly reminiscent of the gas regulator on an FAL.

Not by me!  12.5" is my favorite, and I have the argument often here on the site.

Those are very nice, sir!  I am liking what I see, and read.

what if the spider web part gets bent or damaged? strait tube required? or can a standard tube be used?

If it will fit under a LaRue quad rail I'm in for 4.  Mine measures out at  1.210" over all inner circular diameter.

"LaRue quad rails the true litmus test of universal fit."

Does it have a detent for fully closed seating? If not, do you think it would be possible to add such a detent as a diy add on? Im interested in this because it would allow me to easily put it into bolt action mode for ultra quiet shooting using a suppressor.

Regardless, this looks like a really cool product thst i plan to check out!

Can finally came in after 359 days. Only had a chance to put a couple hundred rounds through it so far, but everything's working great as expected. Really feels like with these controls, what's normally thought of as a negative against a build, being overgassed, is now a gun with more options than an AR that's tuned from the factory with a smaller gas port.

Got a question for you guys - how does this design compare to other gas blocks that are prone to getting carbon locked over larger numbers of rounds?

We've burned well past 10,000 rounds of mostly filthy steel-case Russian ammo in one week with no disassembly or cleaning by just adding a drop of oil occasionally. Check out the "Expedient Cleaning" section of the Maintenance Instructions for details.

Short version: with very minimal maintenance you'll never have an issue.

Damn you Riflespeed! I was content with my Ar's, now I'm not. It doesn't help that you have a nice website either.

Have yall considered offering pin and welding services for your 14.5 uppers? Not owning a pistol lower makes me concerned about being in possession of one without the pin and weld. Worried the AFT will jam me up for constructive intent or whatever infringement it is they use.

Honestly the URX 4 is the least convenient rail to install a special gas block with.

And the reason that's a "no" is because there's literally no room between the end of the rail and the shoulder for this product to be exposed, which is it's selling point.

You could do it with a URX 4 10.0 and 11.5" barrel. Or the 10.75 and a 12.5 barrel

I am aware.

I will take apart one of my 12.5s for this system, in the future.

I have been following since the OP, great to see the positive feedback. I think this system is really well thought out. Considering a 16" turnkey upper now, just have to convince the better half.

Thanks for your purchase. Hit up the support email if you need anything during setup.

Thanks for posting here as well, I don't have any social media access.
I hope your employees and their families are OK, no rush on getting orders out.  Good luck getting everything cleared up and back and running!

Can you help me with this?   Does not work with your configuration tool.

60% suppressed
25% single shot
15% supersonic

TBAC Dominus or maybe Rugged Surge.

Willing to chance it.  Have a bell washer that will do the trick.  

Reason I wrote my duty cycle above, will one of the two default plungers that come with the RS7533 work with 300blk duty cycles mentioned?

Hate to swap those out in the middle of firing sessions.

Waiting for your answer so I can place the order tonight.

The cult of the bayonet still lives in the Army.  My XO says,"Fix bayonets!" twice a day.  I'm fixing to order 4 more M7s from the CMP for my troops.

Received mine today. Insanely fast shipping, not even taking into consideration the tornado they had down there!

First impressions are excellent. This is solid, well built and clearly machine work is done by a team that knows wtf they are doing.

Worth every penny in my opinion. I'll post pics and a range report here in the next week or so once I get some free time. But like I said, based on fit and finish I'd recommend.

@RIFLESPEED  any eta on spare control knobs? They show on backorder now, may need to order a longer one pending on what handguard I end up using

Do you guys offer a barrel drill and gas block pin service, or have a drilling jig for this block? Any shops that you have set up with to perform that service?

Took a minute to find your barrel pinning page, but all I could find are a spec diagram? Do you guys have a jig available? Would a shop like Adco be able to use your diagram without a jig to drill the block and barrel? I really like the idea of this adjustable block, but I’m not going to tackle a drill and pin job, and as I understand it you need a jig to drill both the block and barrel at once.
