I just received my 16" Upper with DD 12" rail.  

What make / mfr gas block do they use?

Okay......normally my googlefu is strong.  I can't find anything that tells me for sure which lo pro BCM uses.  I guess I could take my rail off and look for markings.  

Somebody here has to know....

Thank you for the link........but it doesn't help much.  Old one was Midwest Industries....newer one appears to be Yankee Hill.......they both look like Troys....

I'm sure there's a definitive answer......maybe BravoCompany will chime in tomorrow.

I would bet they are Yankee Hill, not that my betting matters much.

Troy laser etches their gas blocks.  It looks like all of the new uppers with lo-pro gas blocks are YHM.

Pretty sure they are YHM.

Thats what I use on all my builds anyways...they're really really nice blocks.

Thank you for the responses.  Looks like Yankee Hill.  No big deal really.....just curious.  After dropping that much coin, I wanted to know what I had.  They must think pretty highly of the YHM if they put them on their "professional grade" BFH uppers cat's ass uppers.  My lower will be in this week, and I'm looking forward to running the thing.
