| Anybody using these? Any comments good or bad? I want to put it under a 12" Troy rail.....will it fit? It looks pretty short. Will it cover the "scar" from the fsb? |

The specter gas block covers the scar from the taper pins, but I don't think they fit under a Troy handguard. You have to go with a PRI, LaRue, Troy, KAC or MI gas block to fit under a Troy. None of these are going to "clamp-on" like the specter block does. The permanent muzzle device needs to come off the barrel if that's why you were considering the Specter. |
Thanks, I was afraid it might not fit. Yeah, I know the fh has to come off. I plan to use another anyway. The Specter was the only one that looked long enough to cover the un-parked area under the old fsb. It's going on a 16" so it doesn't really matter too much, but I think it might still be visible plus I just don't like the thought of bare metal and too cheap to duracoat it. Kinda sounds like I want my cake and to eat it too huh?

Of the ones I mentioned above, the LaRue ($70) and the MI ($45) both cover the taper pin scars and missing parkerizing from removal of a FSB. I have both of them in-stock as well as many others on my parts page. LaRue:  MI:
