Are there any nice alternatives to the switchblock? Something that is user friendly where you can switch it from unsuppressed/suppressed or something like that? I dont want the adjustable low profile gas blocks that make you have to turn it a hex key like 10 times to switch between suppressed and unsuppressed. It seems dumb if you need to which it on the fly. |

I've been using the Paladin Machine 3 position gas blocks. Has 100% open, 50% and off. Works great and small enough to fit some FF rails.
Have a few options on what type of selector to switch positions. I prefer the slotted selector since it fits under the rail. All I need is a flathead. I've seen others such one that can be manipulated by hand. Just a payment to him earlier this week for another one. I'm sure he can make you one to suit your [email protected] |

Modular – gas regulator can be changed by end user, for different barrel lengths/calibers No special tools – use a bullet to change position, you just push the tip of a bullet on the regulator plate (As seen in the 3rd picture above). You do NOT push on the leg of the spring to change position. You only do that when swapping regulators. (Not something you would do in the field). 2 or 3 position available, typically 2 position is for suppressed/unsuppressed, 3 position can be full/off/suppressed or full/’overdrive’(adverse)/suppressed (3 position is currently only available as a custom plate see Specs page for more info). Regulation is done by actual port sizes so you know exactly how big the gas port is – no guesswork. This also means that you can quickly verify if the regulator port is getting worn out by inserting a drill bit or gage pin into the gas port of the regulator plate. The regulator plates are harder/tougher than the barrels themselves and will most likely outlast your barrel but are easily replaceable in the case of wear* or for different configurations. See Installation page for more info. *If you do ‘wear’ out a plate we will replace it at no charge (you would have to send your old plate in for examination so we can see if was truly firing wear and not by drilling / tampering). We have not been able to wear out a plate doing over 2,000 rounds of full auto fire running 45 round mag dumps of corrosive, abrasive 5.45 out of an 8? barrel. See this link for more details on that testing. Uses standard UNMODIFIED gas tubes Works with most rail systems with no modifications (as small as 1.22” ID for 2 position or 1.365? ID for 3 position). Rail needs a hole or slot where the bullet needs to pass through. Basically, if you can touch the gas block with a bullet, the Govnah will most likely work for your rail system. Also works with gas piston conversion kits that replace standard gas tubes |
