[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Help with adjustable gas block please

Posted: 3/11/2017 2:46:26 AM EDT

Hi all, I bought this AGB (in the link below) from JoeBob Outfitters for my 10.5" pistol I'm putting together. It didn't come with any instructions. Can someone explain which screw (from the pics) is for adjusting the gas pressure and if the other screw is for locking in the setting so it doesn't come loose? Any advice and help is appreciated...

It tells you in the destription that the one on the front adjust the gas, and the one on the left locks it

One tip on that design gas block, is loosen and turn the adjust screw in and out after every few uses. That way it won't get frozen. Also doesn't hurt to Locktite the locking screw, they do loosen and fall out.

Another tip for that gas block, replace the side locking set screw with a better one! I found the one that comes with it gets stripped out easily, the hex opening that the wrench goes into. It's a 4-40 size, about 1/8" long. Pick up a replacement from a local hardware store or online.
