I know I'm probably beating a dead horse and this has been covered before, but I'm still a greenhorn.
I purchased an Odin Works low profile gas block (https://www.odinworks.com/Low_Profile_Gas_Block_p/gb-75.htm) for my M&P Sport 2, and want to ensure I dont damage anything. Will I need to heat the gas block to install it once the original front sight / gas block is off? I'd like to avoid this if I can. Would freezing the barrel or WD40 work instead? |

It should slide on with little to no effort What He Said. Should just be 2 pins to take off the FSB Great. Just been scouring the web and I'm reading that people have had to heat the block to expand it to get it to fit over the barrel, the non-clamp style blocks anyway. Lots of misinformation on the interwebz, just being cautious. |

The pin holes for the OEM gas block go through the barrel, like what you see in this thread (PSA barrel front sight base cut through
Both pin holes are like what you see in that picture's front pin hole. I don't think this will cause much heartache, but what I dont know about ARs could fill a pool. |
| if you do it again get a clamp on. My SLR sentry 7 is a clamp style and have had zero problems with movement. Also dont forget that spacer deal that sits on the shoulder of the barrel in between sight post and shoulder. if you butt the gas block plum to the shoulder it may not be lined up correctly with the hole in the barrel. May have to leave just a hair of space between shoulder and block. My terminology may not be correct but i think youll get the idea |
