Solid pin > roll pin
That being said foreign rifles use roll pins without issue.. the super reliable hk416 is one of them (both on the GB and bayo lug).. if the germanz can do it..

I've done a couple of roll pins for a friend that has a pretty rare Class III M16.... he bought a couple of barrels with set screws holding the low profile gas block... I just milled a flat and drilled for a roll pin...worked fine for full auto use for him

I’m not worried about roll pins working... I know they work and have a few factory barrel assemblies that use them. But to DIY this upcoming build with a rollnpin I’d have to get some 1/8” roll pins and (I assume) a slightly undersized drill bit.
I already have taper pins, drills, and hand taper reamers... so it’s free. I just want to make sure there’s no reason NOT to do a single taper pin installnof a gas block |

No problem then.
Especially if the gas block is not exposed. Btw The geissele super has block is designed to use one single pin. |

I tend to use coiled roll pins.

Daniel Defense and, IIRC, Noveske use single taper pins on their LPGBs that come pinned from the factory.
If you're able to do it, that's the route I'd go. |
