Syrac Ordnance Adjustable Gas Blocks: Syrac adjustable gas blocks allow you to slow down the speed of your bolt carrier, by reducing the amount of gas flow through your system. A slower bolt carrier decreases the amount of recoil. Less recoil equals faster follow up shots. The gas blocks have two main features: adjustability from the front of the block and multiple adjustment settings by a detent locking mechanism. The block mechanism consists of a set screw and a detent. The block has a set screw that regulates the amount of gas that flows through the block. It can be adjusted repeatedly in the field without the need of using a thread-locker like Loctite. You can regulate the amount of gas flow by unscrewing (opening) and screwing (closing) the set screw. Once you obtain the proper setting, the screw is locked into place by a detent. To adjust the set screw you push in the detent, use a Hex Key to turn the screw to the proper setting, and release the detent. The screw is locked in place by the detent. The screw will not turn (move) until the detent is manually pressed in. The blocks also have a start hole location flat on one side. This faced off location is to be used to locate an end mill to break through the melonited surface. After you break through the surface you then use a drill to make a hole to pin the block to the barrel if you desire. We currently have three SKUs:

Thanks.
Working on it. Will not be a FSB, will be a low pro. I will let you know when it is available. Sometime mid summer. |

Melonite is great for surface hardness, and with the mechanism on the block I need hard surfaces within the part. Melonite gets in holes. |

Looks like a great product. I assume you would recommend the set screw type for a hard use rifle.

My concern is the known issue of loss of corrosion protection of melonited stainless vs melonited carbon steels (the M&P slide corrosion problem), as well as the different thermal expansion coefficients of a stainless gas block on a carbon steel barrel. Just curious is all what the rationale was for that combo. |

Does midway sellyour product labeled under the name of AR-Stoner? I bought one and it looks just like yours. I am at work right now so its not sotting in front of me but I believe it is. Very nice design and product guys!

I have one of each clamp and set screw models. Perfect for SBR's suppressed and unsuppressed. I have been extremely pleased with the quality and will be a repeat customer. Can't believe no one has pulled this off before. Best of luck with your new business!

Do you plan on making a piston system like you did at Adams? Are you still affiliated with Adams?

Do the set screws line up with dimples used by other common gas blocks like the YHM low profile gas block? Also have you tested the fit of the gas block under different free float tubes? IF so which ones?
Thanks in advance |

Cool product
Can you describe the process to change the gas setting? Press in a detent while turning an allen screw, something like that? Just trying to imagine how that would work on a midlength gas system under a rifle length handguard. |

They provide 2 long allens. One you can use to press in the detent and the other 2 turn or you can use a skinny flat screw driver and put it through the holes in the rails and then turn it with an allen wrench. Set it to where it will lock your BCG to the rear the. Turn the detent 1-3 turns for your liking.

Other mfgs dont have M&P probs........ As far as the thermal expansion on barrels goes, I prefer to use melonited SS barrels under the melonited SS gas block. Of course, I usually countersunk set screw holes into the barrel, red loctite the block on & use locking screws - I'm funny like that, but have a torch if it ever needs to come apart. |

I'm in for a .750" set-screw block! Just what I've been looking for to go on my newest 6.5 Grendel build.

Does anyone have this gas block, and can review it? Pictures are always good because I'm not that good at reading. Would like to know what rail you have it under as well.
Thanks is advance |

Thanks is advance Jason's been manufacturing a ton of adjustable gas blocks for our OEM use, actually for quite a while now. It's by far the best design on the market that's capable of being adjusted from no gas, to full gas, and every where in between. The gas valve is detented in 4 for positions for 1/4 turn adjustments. These are also designed to use a standard non-modified Mil-Spec gas tube which is a huge benefit IMO. They are machined on high end equipment using high quality materials with an excellent surface treatment (on all parts). The springs are 17-7 stainless steel and shot peened. They are 100% designed and manufactured in the USA. It's a great product that's manufactured by a great guy with very innovated designs. Let me know if you have any questions and if I missed anything I'm sure Jason will fill in the blanks. Here's a little review someone posted in our industry section, http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_2_282/216218_very_brief_review_of_Spike_s_adjustable_gas_block__spoiler__it_s_great_.html |

I'm curious to see if their are any interferences with common FF rail options. |
