What is the easiest to install low profile gas block? Barrel is a Dennys .750in, 16 inch recon profile. I want to install a rifle length free float handguard.

If it already has a regular FSB installed, why not just cut it down ? This way, you save some $$$ on a part that will be invisible anyway, plus it is held securely in place with the original pins rather than the less secure clamp/set screw approach of aftermarket blocks.

No gas block is installed I will have to attach one myself.

KAC, PRI, LaRue and SPR - all install with setscrews. IIRC, SPR is the cheapest.

I just got a nice steel YHM Low Profile Gas Block from Bravocompany for $35.

I mention steel because I had a bad experience with an aluminum low profile gas block. I won't use aluminum again.

Keep your powder dry!

Brownells has nice small gas block designed to slip under a float tube, less than $30.00, also have a steel one from yankee hill also. all use set screws to hold them on.
