Putting together a 16" .300 Blackout with carbine length gas system. .750 barrel diameter. I want to use either stock M4 hand guards or Magpul MOE. There are a plethora of low profile gas blocks but few flat top or A2 models. Recommendations?
I may use JP enterprises A2 model, but no bayo lug or sling loop. Not a deal killer. $135 is pricy but I may not have a choice. I found one picatinny model but am. OT familiar with the manufacturer. Any machinists mod original A2 blocks? |

I'm in the market for the same type of adjustable A2 type gas block. I saw the JP one and it might be the only option.
It was that or drill a normal FSB and tap the hole for a set screw to make your own. Thats a bit beyond my skill set. Would love to hear if there is another option. |

There are enough manufacturers of aftermarket gas blocks that I would think that someone would take to modifying the stock A2 fsb.
I ordered the JP Enterprises unit. I did not want to spend that much money on the gas block, but if I got a regular less expensive gas block then I would have to free float handguard and that ends up costing a ton. The JP Enterprises unit should be here in a day or two. I'll try to remember to update this. The one nice thing about the JP block is that I don't have to stake the sight. |
