There isn't one. The hole in the barrel nut is roughly 1" in diameter. With a .750 gas block journal that's only leaving you with a quarter inch. Now figure that you've got an eighth inch on the bottom for the set screws. The gas tube itself is 3/16s. So even if you found a gas block that sets the gas tube right against the barrel, there still isn't enough room.

That looks perfect, just cant find any to purchase online. But i feel being 2 piece lessens its durability compared to a one piece design. Any ideas on a really slim one piece block?

There is no such thing. Look at your barrel assembly with the HG removed. See how that gas tube passes over the nut? |

It can be installed and removed with the gas block and barrel nut still in place. You could possibly make a .625 gas block small enough, you'd need a custom gas tube with a little extra bend in it though. There just isn't enough room to do it with a .750 gas block. |

I was speaking of the diameter of that nut in relation to the height of the gas block on a .750. I realize there is a bend, and owning several pinned 14.5s, I have longed for a solution. Was just trying to give him a visual to understand it is no bueno. |

Since I am new to the suppressor crew, I have to change the FHs to those ugly ass Blackouts, anyway, so I thought I might as well NOT have to pin them. This is my rational train of thought at work

Im overhauling my RRA operator, throwing on a new 14.5 barrel with a 2.5 inch compensator so it'll be over the 16" requirement. Obviously the compensator has to be permanently attached in order to meet that requirement. The problem is, with the amount of money I'm putting into the new upper i don't want to be limited to one specific free float barrel (since once the comp is pinned you can't remove the gas block in order to change out the barrel nut for different rails).And i like experimenting with various rails. Im trying to find a gas block short enough to allow the average barrel nut to pass over. Barrels a .750. Thanks in advance for your input! _MPCORPS_ Send the barrel nut with the barrel and gas block to the gunsmith doing the work. He can slip the barrel nut on the barrel after he shortens it and install the gas block before he welds the flash hider in place. It will be ready to install when you receive it. Have him use masking tape to hold the barrel nut in place during shipment so it doesn't mar the barrel. |

This was the direction I was going, then I decided to get a 14.5 LW with .750 gas and use the Voodoo Manimal FH so I can disassemble any time I might want to... |

Adams arms/hulda/voodoo manimal is about the only solution if you want to be able to swap gas blocks and barrel nuts. brownells also sells a .750 OD comp. I couldn't find one for sale anywhere so I emailed Adams arms and they hooked me up with 2 of them even though they showed out of stock. good peoples over there.
hit the whole barrel with some bake on high temp engine paint after this and it came out nice. |
