Get one. They're only about $40 more if you shop right. I bought one just to check them out. I can't see using anything else now.

The absolute only downfall about them on Car gas system and longer is $40 bucks extra.
Oh and some very skinny rails have clearance issues. If you have lightweight buffer, lightweight carrier, or a reduced power buffer spring you should definitely get one. If you have all full mass rifle components you don't need one, but you rifle jumps more than necessary. Pistol gas system might erode away the screws pretty fast, but that does not apply to you. |

Thanks.... That's what I was looking for! |

They are best for allowing the reduction of reciprocating mass or tuning for suppressor use.
I have one on my 18. An SLR. Low mass bcg and buffer. Hot 77 grain, it doesn't budge compared to a typical stock carbine with m193. The other one I have is on an SBR made it easier to get running suppressed as it is over gassed without it. |

The hell with it.... Grabbed an SLR Titanium clamp-on adjustable gas block last night.... We'll see how it works!

SLR is the most popular.
Syrac Ordance is also good. I own both. I like both. I have $15 set screw models that suck, but once set they are fine too as long as you are not switching between suppressed and not. |

I've used a couple of cheaper blocks with the brass set screw. I ended up stripping the brass screw on both of them. Never again.
