[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question about front gas block

Posted: 9/8/2008 1:25:56 AM EDT

I have a question I am hoping some can answer.
According to my dial caliper when I take a measurement of the barrel just in front of my gas block it is reading .720.
Yet every gas block I find for sale is either .750 or .936. Is the barrel under the gas block a lil bit larger ie .750?
Or am I just going to have a hell of a time trying to find a GB to fit? Any thoughts or answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks Ken

Yes, the gas block seat is larger.

No worries. Which one are you looking at? I recommend VLTOR/Noveske.

I was looking into the 4 railed one. Or a low pro and then maybe a rifle length FF. I have a 16 bbl and It might look pretty nice especially when combined with my silencer when it comes in.

Don't get a railed gas block. Much better to use a longer rail. And lighter.
