The revolutionary RIFLESPEED™ Gas Control System (US Patents #US20200116446A1, #US10724812B2, plus additional patents pending) makes controlling your rifle's gas flow reliable, repeatable, and foolproof. Need more gas? Turn it up. Need less gas? Turn it down. With the easy-to-grasp Control Knob, it's that simple and no tools are required for adjustment, disassembly, or reassembly. The highly visible numbering on the Control Knob ensures that you'll always know your setting. Return to a previous setting instantly by simply turning the Control Knob. Each setting is indicated by a highly tactile "click" with a deep detent position for use during times of reduced visibility. Riflespeed Gas Controls are completely modular with multiple Plunger sizes available to cover the adjustment requirements for every cartridge. The patented Rotation Stop feature prevents unintentional disassembly and ensures you'll never be outside of your desired adjustment range. Designed for the most rigorous Military or LE Duty Use, RIFLESPEED Gas Controls are also ideal for defensive use, competition, recreational shooting, or hunting. RIFLESPEED Gas Controls are durable and proven to perform through tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition spent in developmental and destructive testing. Gas Controls from RIFLESPEED are the ultimate solution to the problems of operating hard-use carbines in varying conditions, configurations, and environments. With complete control of the gas that's delivered to the action of your rifle with each shot you'll enjoy increased reliability, reduced recoil, reduced muzzle rise, less aiming disruption, less wear and tear on your rifle, and improved accuracy. Set your RIFLESPEED Gas Control for ideal performance with light commercial ammo or higher-pressure milspec ammo. Dial your gas system in for ideal performance in extreme heat or frigid cold conditions. Enjoy optimal performance with or without a suppressor. With a properly adjusted gas system you can eliminate the need to swap buffers and springs. Once you experience the advantages of using a RIFLESPEED Gas Control, you’ll never want to shoot anything else. Currently available for barrels with a 0.750" gas-block journal diameter. Additional sizes to follow. Use our interactive fitment calculator to determine the correct model of RIFLESPEED Gas Control for your firearm.

This is cool
|
|
|
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.

Would you have to change the plunger to go from "just enough gas to cycle suppressed" to "just enough to cycle unsuppressed"? View Quote Going from suppressed to unsuppressed is no problem. No Plunger change is required. You can see the hand-written settings on the grey rifle with the DBAL pictured above. That rifle runs suppressed on #5 and unsuppressed on #8 with Plunger #937 (part of the basic kit). We offer multiple sizes to allow tuning of the adjustment range, but that's an option, not a necessity. For example, some people want to be able to cut off gas completely on a 300BLK for maximum stealth with subs. You can select a Plunger that allows you to dial down to #1 and run subs like a single shot then dial back up to cycle the action again in about two seconds. Some people want to be sure that the gas can NOT be shut off. That's how I prefer to set up 5.56 duty rifles. Suppressed setting is #1 so there's no way gas can be shut off too much. Unsuppressed setting will range from 3-8 with most configurations and ammo. That still leaves lots of room for adjustment with extreme cold temperatures, weak ammo, dirty gun, etc. Either of these setups is doable and two different Plungers are included with each kit to get you started. One you run a Gas Control equipped rifle you'll be completely spoiled against any other option. |

I only have one question:
How long can you shoot this between disassembly and cleaning intervals on the adjustable block itself? I know a lot of people have had issues with adjustable gas blocks being locked up after a few thousand rounds, i.e., with enough time they no longer are adjustable but carbon locked into the position they were set. Just want to say this looks like a great idea, I just always have reservations with anything DI and adjustable gas systems. |

I can smell you from here

We have detailed tech documents including maintenance Instructions at riflespeed.com. We also have a detailed video covering this on our YouTube channel. The short answer is with an incredibly small amount of very simple maintenance (no disassembly required) the Gas Control will keep running longer than your barrel will last and your bolt carrier group requires significantly more maintenance than the Gas Control. No mechanical device can continue to function indefinitely with no maintenance. The question is whether that device is increasing the difficulty or frequency of the maintenance process or shortening the service life of the system. Riflespeed Gas Controls have been designed, developed, tested, and proven to require less maintenance than your bolt carrier group and have a longer service life than your bolt or barrel. In other words, the existing components of your rifle will need maintenance and die before your Gas Control. Thanks for your interest and feel free to hit us up with any other questions.

what if the spider web part gets bent or damaged? strait tube required? or can a standard tube be used?
|
|
|
There is space between the barrel and the Control Knob (the skeletonized part) but not so much that damage will be any significant consideration should an impact occur. You can hit it hard and everything will still function as it should. Worst case, bend it back.
Straight gas tubes are required. Those are available on the site, of course. Several other manufacturers also offer them. Thanks for your interest. |

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." View Quote Maximum OD on the Gas Controls is 1.188 inches. We've run handguards with IDs as small as 1.225" (MI Nightfighter) successfully, but let us know how it works for you. @Visigothic |
|
|
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! |
|

Gas Controls are fully modular so you can set them up with as little or as much restriction as you want. We have a lot of 300blk shooters running shut-off on position #1 for maximum stealth and then cycling subs & supers on higher settings.

I see the .625 gas control is on the website now. Any idea on when they will be available?

Without some minimal maintenance even your bolt carrier will eventually lock up with carbon (we've done it in testing multiple times). Properly maintained by occasionally adding a drop of oil you'll not have any problems with your Gas Control over its entire life. The patented Plunger design we use is completely smooth so there are no threads to carbon lock and that drop of oil (that is applied from the outside with no disassembly) can easily make its way inside the Gas Control. 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. |

That’s also available, but the description on the Barrel Pinning page hasn’t been updated yet. Hit that page and you can just add that on your form.
Thanks! |

Damn it! I came to buy one for my new Mini Recce build, I am putting a Triarc 11.5 together with a URX4 10.75...all NO on the Configurator

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

any idea what a noveske leonidas 12.5 barrel gas system is? do you have to buy gas tube seperatly ?

Just got one ordered for a Mk12 -ish build
Should have it built and test fired within a week of receiving gas block, will update here! |

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.

Everyone is well & structural damage was minimal. Our friends & neighbors got hit much harder right across the street. The only good news is that there is enough lumber (Pine, Cedar, Oak, Hickory, Cherry & Poplar trees) down on the ground that I'll probably be able to build my wife that barn she's been wanting. The bad news is that I'll have to build my wife the barn she's been wanting.
Internet connection is back up so we're finally caught up on shipping with the exception of one order that's waiting on a barrel pinning. Thanks for all the support and for your orders. |

The handguard covers the entire length of the 8" barrel. With an 8.5" barrel you can run an RS7533. You may be able to add a spacer behind the muzzle device to gain enough clearance for the RS7533 on the 8" barrel. SilencerCo sells a 0.200" spacer. That will be close, but may be enough.

View Quote 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 only way to know is to shoot it. We’ve had many people report that the #937 works for their 300 like this, but confirm in your setup.

Any plans to offer a pinned version w/ bayonet lug?

It has been discussed. The Army’s perspective at this point is that the bayonet is now a 9mm pistol so the demand probably isn’t there. We’ll see.

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?

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. |
