I have the Brownell's (clam shell style sold by many) and discovered yesterday that you can't use it with a Colt pattern 9mm upper without first removing the shell deflector. This one I think would not have that problem.

It will if your Colt has a large pivot pin hole. |

bump ^
Keep the recommendations coming! I looked at the DPMS "claw" at a show last month. In some ways it looks good - since nothing touches the reciever except at the pivot pin lug area, there's no chance of fvcking up the finish, but I wonder if there's a chance of breaking the lugs off if a lot of force is needed to get the barrel nut moving? I know somebody has to be the one to find out, but I'd rather not be the ONE. |

I too am looking for an action block. My Bushmaster block leaves marks on my uppers and I have grown tired of it. Any of these blocks recommended don't leave these damn marks?
Thanks.....Chad |

Thanks for the quick reply. If you don't mind, how many times have you used it? I ask as I've used mine, I don't know, 40-50 times at least. The marks started happening pretty fast, but not from the start; Maybe after the 5th time of using it.
Thanks.....Chad |

How is is marking up the receiver? I just bought a Bushmaster new style action block. I don't like to hear it marks up the receiver. Have any pics?

The Peace River block can leave marks also. Pretty sure they are all about the same. Oh...and it should go without saying NOT to try and use a flipper or DPMS claw to torque your barrel

Any suggestions as to how to keep it from making the marks?
Thanks.....Chad edited to tell gaspipes: The marks are a rectangular grid on both sides of the upper near the the top sides, near or right below the flattop/carry handle. They SUCK!!!!!! and I'm sick of making them. Sorry, no pics. |

I havent noticed anything like that... but I imagine you should be able to cover the inside of the block with some fine cloth/chamois....
