I like the Faxon ones..
They're very slick, QPQ melonited, lightweight and use 3 set screws rather than 2 (which is still fine, but 3 is better than 2).

When it comes to sizes when I'm looking online, is that for barrel diameter? (dont worry, I won't be installing this stuff. A buddy will haha) |

Which is the outer barrel diameter at the gas block and inner diameter of the gas block. |

Bought a new rail and I need to get a low profile gas block. What block should I consider for my Ruger 5.56? A pleasure to be mentioned. Let us know if we can help! |

I've used a lot of the YHM lo pro set screw 750 gas blocks and they seem to work just fine. What kind of rail are you going to install?

The SLR non adjustable gas blocks are some of the nicest machined and coated GBs I have ever used but they are pricey. The Aero gas blocks from Schuyler for $20 are a great quality. They are machined nicely and fit snuggly. I have never used the Facon GBs. They look like a quality item.

Which Ruger are you working on? The pinned FSB model will need a gas block approximately 2" long to cover where the pin holes are drilled.

This may be a silly question but I have to ask, is your Ruger a DI or gas piston upper. The reason I ask is, Ruger makes both types of rifles and they do not use the same kind of gas block. If yours is a gas piston you are pretty much stuck with the one you have.

Bought the ALG Defense EMR V-3 Any chance this rail is going to work if it has a gas piston? |
