I've seen some in photos around here, but can't find who makes them or sells them.

Similar to this one:





I'm looking for one that I've seen that looks like little more than an extended gas tube and clamps.

I need it to fit on a SS 0.93" bull barrel and if it is also SS all the better.

Any suggestions? Links?

Grassias!

Olyarms used to make then for their flat tops, but have went to a full round style gas block.

If your dead set on going with this style, then just order a front tower from DPMS (bull barrel) and have the top milled off.  As for the SS, DPMS may have one, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Thanks Dano,

I'll check out Oly.

I know someone must make them. Just don't know who. If I can't find them, I'll just go with the DPMS 4-rail.

Nope, didn't see anything on Olympic's site.

Anyone else?

Bushmaster puts them on their Varminter and V Match rifles. Unfortuantly they don't list them as a seperate item in their catalog.
I suppose you could contact them and find out if
they do sell them.

They also have a flip-up front site that clamps around the milled block.

Aaaah! F'n-A dude, that's it!




But I don't think they make it to fit a 0.93 bull. I'll e-mail them to check.

I guess I'll just have to go with the DPMS lo-pro or the Badger Ordnance Speed Block.


Thanks Fl3gun!!

Oly has them and uses them on some of their rifles.  They are moving to the front picitinney rail, if I am not mistaken.

DPMS carries one from JP and a quad rail front site also.

LS...If MetalCraft doesn't make the Bull Barrel size...how about asking them to? If they can't/won't...just do it yourself. Reaming out 0.18" will be a snap...Bud
