  1) I'm putting a Samson rail on this 16" mid length upper. What gas block do I need to match the rail and use my flip up front sight ? 2) Is this a common size for the BBL under the gas block ? 3) Will this gas tube work with the new gas block I need, or do I need another type ? If so, which one ? Thank's in advance, Steve |

Yeah Mongo, when I ordered the 9" Samson, I assumed that I'd have a continuous rail all the way across. If I'd have known that I'd have ordered the 12" and a low profile block. Nobody's fault but my own. I'm still on the "learning curve"  ............Does it look like I'm going to end up with something like this :

You could go with a low profile gas block, like the PRI, SPR, LaRue or even a KAC if you can find one. ADCO sells the first two. Link About 1/2 way down on the left you will see the PRI Steel gas block for $53.33. You could use your 9.0 rail system with the Troy front BUIS. It's a clean look, sort of SPRish. This option is much cheaper than the complete PRI flip sight. Good luck. |
I tend to agree with Mongo001 on this. Use a low profile block, the 9" rail and your Troy front sight. Would be a nice look. M-Forgery |
