Posted: 8/28/2014 2:22:24 PM EDT

Can some tell me what size they are. Are they all usually the same size?

I think I read somewhere that they are 10 32 x 3/16". Yes/no?

ETA: Should of said "set screws"

So you really expect someone to provide you an answer to an incomplete question? You have provided absolutely "zero" information about your gas block.

In spite of all of that I would suggest you order some .750-16 setscrews. They should fit your gas block perfectly.

As the size is varies from manufacturer to manufacturer....unless someone has one they are willing to pull the screw and measure the diameter and pitch.....I'd suggest calling Fortis and asking.
As the easiest to tap for is 8/32 due to one of the holes being a remnant of drilling the gas port....if I HAD to venture a guess.....
But then again...I make all my blocks as a split clamp and use 6/32 x 3/8 allen caps
