I'm just about to start assembling my latest build rifle and using an18" Stealth for the barrel. However, seems I can't swing a dead cat anymore without someone complaining how "overgassed " the LaRue barrels are. I was going to use the LaRue gas block I have but am getting second thoughts about putting an SLR adjustable block on from the get go. I know they have one that supposedly mates with the dimples already on the barrel. Gonna use an A5 buffer and Springco spring if Magpul can ever ship the new UBR. So, would you go with the SLR gas block or just use a heavier buffer/spring....or is this overgassed talk all horseshit and there's really no issue to begin with? Thanks folks!

If you're going to be shooting suppressed, grab the SLR Adjustable...if not, LT block is GTG.

I have the SLR on my 18" stealth and it's what I would recommend.

I adjust it 1 click past perfect function unsuppressed, then I'm GTG with my Recce 5. I like it for the usability. If I change up my handloads or something all I have to do is change clicks, instead of getting new buffers etc. or if you want to lower it so that it's tuned for suppressed you can do that too, with just a couple clicks.

You'd be spending about the same anyways, $30-40 for a gasblock, then $30-40 if not more for the springs and buffers and stuff vs $120 for a gasblock that works for everything.

Just my opinion though.

I have an LT gas block on my 18" and I have never seen a single sign of it being overgassed.   That being said, I have never run it with a can.  Because IL.

i use the regulr block on my 20"...no issues

Same here. I have mine set up with a BCM A5 Intermediate Buffer System and a LANTAC E-BCG and it is extremely smooth shooting. No over-gassing at all.

This is the truth.  I'd say any rifle/barrel that's run with a can should have an adjustable gas system.  

With SLR you'll need the .450 spacing for the set screws
