If the gas block is pinned then you realise the pins are tapered?

[turner nz]

Nah just two set scews only the gas tube had a tappered pin got that out fine but the block has some lok tite down the holes just stubborn as tried a rubber mallet and a piece of wood on the bench but no go, may have to give it a go again

Last thing you want is the block rotating when it shouldnt so guess it will be on pretty good.

[gimp]

Troy. Yeah they work great. Shot wallabies on the run at 100+ m with them.

[turner nz]

troy battle sights ? dang there expensive but you get what you pay for... i'm keen on this barrel for a lightweight build, what you guys think ? AR15 barrel Daniel defense 5.56 | Trade Me

[gimp]

I think I want it instead but yeah it's a good barrel if you don't mind carbine gas/16"


I'd rather have middy and 16 or 14.5 and carbine

ref the troy micro sights,I have a burris pepr mount, how much room do you need to mount the rear sight does it fold down forward or backwards to clear the scope rear lens.
I have one spare slot on the rail behind the pepr mount. Cheers

[gimp]

I think it only needs 1 slot basically, and it folds down backwards. It's about the lowest profile folding rear I've seen.

How short is your eye relief on your scope that you have your mount that far back?


You can see it in this humorous photo of forum member 'the kid'

[foxhound]

The scope is a leupold vx 1 last year model eye relief bout 3 1/2 inches could probably move the mount forward one more slot.

[foxhound]

just looked up specs eye relief 3.7 to 4.2''

Only win with loctite apply heat do you have a map gas bottle . 60 to 70 degrees makes most go spongy so you can remove it some needs heap more heat

Hey, gimp, ive got the NEA 18" DMR, do you recon I can get by without an adjustable gas block when using an overbarrel suppressor?.....really dont want to fuck around if I dont have too.......

[Bill999]

of corse you can get away without having an adjusty gas block. It just may not be plesant.
my 16 inch middy RRA spat a bit of gas in my eye when I suppressed it, so I poor man gass bustered it
gold ever since,

I dont know if ill ever bother with an adjustable gas block because currently it works,
