This is why I prefer dimpled barrels/set screw gas blocks vs. Clamp on style. https://slrrifleworks.com/750-dimpling-jig/ The set screw goes in the gas port...

Quoted: Is there a preferred Alignment tool to help? Go to Home Depot and get a dowel rod that fits through the hole for the gas tube. Use the dowel to align the gas block opening. Place 2 stacked business cards between it and the shelf cut of the barrel and gently but firmly press the gas block to the rear till it pinches them. Secure into place so the dowel is still aligned. Remove the dowel and cards, then continue the build This is literally the way SOCOM armorers do it. |
