Nice. Did you do the install? I need to buy a Mod 2 gas block nut wrench just so I have it handy. Thought about making one myself, but too lazy so far. 
Honestly, I'd like to pull it apart just to study it (Mod 2 gas system). Originally Posted By Blackfoot_7:

Also, did you pull the gas tube from the block or did you leave it attached? Operation Parts lists a gas tube "sleeve" that I'm assuming goes between the nut on the gas tube and the gas block, but I'm not positive since I haven't had mine apart yet. It almost looks like it acts as a crush sleeve and needs to be replaced each time the block and tube are separated. KAC part number for the part I'm referring to is 30582.  Attached File |

Hey that’s a good looking set up. Nice to see someone else using the KAC Mount too for their NX8. I didn’t know there was a mil/Leo only version with capped turrets but I’m happy with my purchase. I wrote a review In the Optics section, please stop by and add your thoughts. This scope is taking a lot of heat from guys who’ve never even handled one

The analogy of the gas tube is correct. The fitting is very close to that of an AN hydraulic fitting. The part number 30582 is a bearing surface of sorts. It distributes the clamping force of the nut while acting as a bearing surface, protecting the gas tube’s flare from rotational damage.
Here’s a thread from Kevin B about the gas system on the Mod 2 Knights Mod 2 gas system |

It has a Colt upper, BCG, 14.5” socom bbl on it now. It was a MK18 early on but has been in this configuration for a while, except the can is new. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By karmapolice:

I was guessing an 80% because I didn't see any evidence of a serial number. Until now I wasn't familiar with these lowers. Too bad you sold the original upper. I've also got a KAC lower with a 14.5" SOCOM barreled Mod 1 upper that I'd like to SBR soon. I built it as a Mod 2 look-a-like on a stripped non-ambi KAC lower/Mod 1 SR-15 upper before I bought my "real" Mod 2.
