Solid(4.5.2015)
I gave this gas block 4 stars because it does not fit under the SLR Rifleworks rail I have. The bolt heads hang up. I thought about grinding the heads down, but just decided to look for another gas block. I would recommend this gas block for most rifles. It's stout and solid. The clamp is also solid when mounted. For most applications this will work well.
Everyone needs one of these.(8.9.2012)
I am so impressed with this Adj Gas Block. I brought it for my RRA ATH. It was easy to install (just follow the instructions), easier to adjust. I was a little worried when I noticed parallel scratch marks on the neck of the case that I had never seen before, but quickly realised that since the bolt carrier had been greatly slowed in its rearward travel that the case neck was scrapping along locking lugs in the barrel extension. The 'twang' of the buffer spring is almost non existent and felt recoil is about as noticeable if not less than a .22 rimfire. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a low profile adj gas block in stainless steel. I've uploaded some images that may be of help showing the rifle with and without the suppressor attached. There was no difference that I noticed in the clearance between the old gas block and the new one.
Great JP Product, Perfect Fit(10.11.2015)
If you are looking for a relatively low priced Gas Block, that looks sleek and is easy to install and tune, this is it. JP makes great products, and it continues with this block. I was first weary about a clamp on gas block, many people dislike them and say they can shift and move, which they can, but if you install correctly and tighten down the block, it pretty much will not. You can ask JP for a recommended torque as well. I had barely tightened down all 4 screws and I couldn't budge it. Unless you plan on throwing your rifle on the ground, you will be all set. All around good quality and good product.
Makes for a much smoother AR(20.12.2015)
Most AR's are very over-gassed which creates a harsher recoiling cycle than needed. This block allows you to tune it down for an overall smoother shooting rifle. Install was easy except for the gas tube roll pin. It fit very tightly in the hole and was not easy to get in. because I had to bang on it so the one end flared open a bit so it didn't fit in all the way but enough to hold the gas block in place and luckily it just gets hidden inside the hand guard and doesn't matter too much so I will forgive it. After that install was very easy and straight forward.
Adjusting the gas system was easy and took less than 10 rounds. Just remember if you want to shoot it with many types of ammo they recommend you open it up a quarter turn more than is necessary to insure function with all loads and not just that one. This is what I did and it still shoots much softer and smoother than the traditional gas block.
Outstanding Gas Block!!(5.2.2016)
Purchased for installation on a DPMS LR-308T. Was having problems since day one with this rifle. Would short stroke or over travel right out of the box. DPMS was no help whats so ever. I guess they figure a $700 rifle should only work part of the time... I changed the gas block with the non-adjustable JP block, swapped the rear with the JP recoil reducing buffer and tuned spring and the Mako recoil reducing stock...You'd think that would've done it, right? Wrong...still over traveled. Tried every brand name of cartridge, reloaded with 4 types of powders and bullets, same thing over and over again. Finally talked to the Brownells Tech and he recommended this gas block and honing out the chamber. Took 18 minutes to install and 11 rounds to tune...GUESS WHAT?? This DPMS gutter scrap works like it should of from day one. The recoil is like shooting a 5.56. With the same setting I shot all the brands of ammo and every reload I made for this thing. I only had to adjust it once after 22 rds. After 80 rds I checked the torque settings, (which are listed in the outstanding directions), for any movement, everything was perfect. Had a nice pile of brass 9' away and with no marks, where as before, it was a mangled mess scattered everywhere. I'm happier than a goose in the frying pan. Thank You Brownells and JP.
The best adjustable gas block out there!(6.3.2016)
Got this block in preparation for putting a suppressor on my 308 AR. Instructions on tuning were excellent. Set screw to lock in the adjustment is outstanding setup. Tuned it and the gun functions like a dream. I will be getting 2 more for other 308 ARs. I love the clamping effect of the 4 screws at the bottom, the composition of steel that you can really put a some torque into the clamp and make sure it never moves again. The adjustment is easy to access and it comes with a long allen wrench that can be used if the block is under a forend stock. I will now be putting this block on any more custom builds I do. The best one out there IMHO. JP did it again!
Gas tube milled 1/4 inch to short(13.3.2016)
Got this item ,Opened and found it caked in white powder from the anodizing .The after 20 min worth of cleaning I find that the hole for the gas tube is a 1/4 inch to short . Called and got the runaround . I purchased this item because of the reputation of the product . A 1/4 inch off???? I have 20$ Chinese adjustable's , Not that great but at least it was milled correctly . But Brownells was not to blame , Great selection and fast shipping . I will still buy here !!!
Totally lacking in full quality control.(17.3.2016)
I was very pleased with the first gas block I ordered. The second two were a huge disappointment. Not the usual JP quality I have come to expect. I had to grind at least 1/8 of an inch off the gas tube before the gas tube pin hole would through align with the tube and the gas block. I tried the second one and the same issue was there. The gas tube hole in the block was not drilled deep enough on both of them. I made one fit my personal gun but am sending one back. I would have given them 5 stars on the first one I installed, but have to give them only 1 star for their quality control.
NO QC(22.3.2016)
Gas tube hole is not milled deep enough on this gas block. Tried it with 3 gas tubes and it does not come close to being deep enough. Not sure how this slipped through.
Slight issue, but easy fix.(5.8.2016)
After reading a few prior reviews, I was somewhat hesitant in buying another one of these gas blocks but I thought it may have been a bad run and issue was corrected. Gas block came in and made an attempt to install. Had the same issue as others. Gas tube wouldn't slide in far enough to install gas tube roll pin. After a closer look, I found that there was some kind of substance inside the actual gas tube hole. Simple solution was to take a small flat head screwdriver and scrape the stuff out of there. Problem was solved and it's working as designed.
Read the reviews after purchase(19.12.2016)
As some have noted in their reviews, the gas tube will not seat far enough into the tube hole, to line up with the roll pin. Mine was about 1/8" off where it needed to be. After reading the reviews, I finger rolled a drill bit in the hole, and brought up quite a lot of sand/powder/ash material from the bottom of the hole. For some reason, I couldn't believe this company would not have drilled this hole to the proper depth, and concluded it must be filled with this powder. After finger rolling the drill bit, several times, the tube fits well, nice and snug, as it should. Net, net, before returning, do yourself a favor and clear the hole. Should this have been done by the manufacturer? Sure...
works,wonder about adjustment screw(8.6.2014)
Purchased this for a new build and after shooting a friends that had an adjustable gas block and how smooth his gun was I got one and it is quality and seams top notch except the gas adjustment screw is so easy that I know it will come out even with loctite after a lot of use but it did come with 2. I will put a nut on it or modify it to fix that but for the price$$$ that should be already there.
Great front post(15.2.2016)
If you want to keep your front sight post and be able to adjustable your gas pressure this is a great way to go.
Getting it straight up and down is a challenge but if you get the clamp taught you can play around with it until it's good. The finish is very good.
