Bottom line for me is, with these set of facts, why is he trashing LaRue for this? I am a simple ordinary man and just don't get it? 2-that when he did paint it and and change the gas block multiple times he installed the new gas blocks properly. There appears to be photographic evidence that the PRI gas block was installed properly. I'll just add (for those who haven't watched IG's video), that NF had a Larue 2010 SHOT show video that he has set to private but left the description up, where he gushes about the reliability and quality of Larue's products and that "he has never seen nor heard anything bad about the quality of Larue uppers." This would be 1.5 years after he bought his Stealth upper that "didn't run right out of the gate." Libel? |

My 20" stealth upper was so accurate it made me uncomfortable. I may someday lay it down for the larue 308 predatar carbine, but for now I'm sticking with bolt guns to keep my ammo consumption down. while larue does make a few things that no one else does I've been giving most of my small stuff mount money to ADM as they do .vet discounts. They supposedly have a 308 rifle coming out, if that's in a decent price range I may go that direction since it should have their amazing ambi controls and it's local. Rainierarms has always done me great too though, and with four custom builds over the years from them I have to avoid their 308 rifle pages too |

The positive side from all of this is that you can see how important gas block alignment is with a gas-operated rifle (shouldn't have to be pointed out, but we are in the 4th Turning, so...)
Why is it that nobody ever told me that the gas block needs to be aligned properly? I just figured that just maybe, it was a good idea to keep the ports aligned, since that's what makes the action cycle and all. Call me Mr. details, but why is this such a hard concept to grasp for some people. Is there Aspergers involved here or something? |

So they (LaRue) undersize the gas port to make it shoot softer. Drilling out the gas block solves the problem.
