Can a few people measure the distance from the front of the upper receiver to the end of your lo pro rifle length gas block?
My guesstimate is 12.5" but I'd love a few actual measurements

I'd also really love to know what brand gas block you're using

Thanks

It will depend on what gas system.  Carbine, midlength,  rifle

Also what end of the gas block? The end towards muzzle or end towards receiver?

P.S. I have carbine gas, so none of those numbers are anything like 12.5

So...how far is it from the front of YOUR upper receiver to the gas block shoulder on YOUR rifle-gassed barrel?

Sorry if my OP wasn't clear
Rifle gas
Muzzle end of the gas block
I want measurements from a few different brands of gas blocks although they should be within 1/2"

That's the question.

Ooooooooooo, crap. Why didn't you say so? .....you may ignore my previous posts.
ETA:  The 13" handguard on ...this BCM rifle length upper.... doesn't cover the lopro gas block , while the 15" handguard on ...this BCM rifle length upper.... DOES cover the lopro gasblock.
Does this help at all?? Am I getting any warmer trying to figure out what it is that you're trying to figure out?

Front of receiver to front of block is 13 ¾” on my rifle length ar
I think my LP block is a re bagged Troy … from a local shop
Best I can tell without removing the guard it covers one inch or the barrel
