Hey Todd! I currently have a DD factory pinned .625" LPGB. What do you recommend as a replacement, set screw or clamp on? If I could, I would have a gunsmith pin on a .625" set screw one, are you going to make one (set screw .625")? Its up to you. I see no problem with either way of securing the gas block. 50% want clamp on and the other 50% want set screws.The both do the job. Pinned is good for the mind if you life is riding on the rifle. We are doing .625" in both clamp on and set screw. Todd |

Hey Todd, I just recieved the DA7 and barrel. Just need to pick up a carbine length gas tube. Remarkable craftsmanship. I will definitely use these gas blocks for my other 2 builds!

What are the height and width specs on the 0.750 inch clamp-on version?
Will the 0.750 inch clamp-on fit under the new UTG Pro 9 inch "smooth" free float handguard tube? When will the 0.750 inch clamp-on version be on the website? Will the 0.750 inch clamp-on version be the same price as the set screw version? I got a Secuity Certificate warning/failure on the your website when I went to "check-out". |

Are site is 100% secure. I also answered your IM about this stuff. Let me know if I can help any more, Todd@SLR |

Really happy with my DA7, 16 inch carbine gas barrel, and 9 inch intrepid all by SLR. All I need now is some range time and my stamps to come in so I can chop this barrel down and slap on my can.

Hmmm..... great concept! Any plans to support a .936" barrel?? Just finishing up a Lilja AR-24 barreled build, this would be very nice on it!

Looks like we are going to make a run of .875's and .936' Clamp on DA series gas blocks. We will be announcing a pre order for these as soon as this .625" and .750" Clamp on production run is completed.

Yeah. That would be cool. Then there wouldn't have to be a separate pinned model. It would just be the Set screw/Pinned or the Clamp version.

I was about to buy the set screw version. Now I think I will wait for the clamp version.
The end of the month is just right around the corner. Are you still on track to for the end of August? My rail will be delivered sometime next week, so this would be great timing. |

I'm ready to buy one of the soon-to-be-released .936" models. Clamp-on or set-screw doesn't matter a whole lot to me. Either version would be more of what I'm looking for than anyone else's offerings from what I've seen. Can I pay in advance to get one of the first ones?

My custom build rifle isn't complete without the Clamp .75 adjustable gas block! I am rifle-less without it. I might opt to buying a generic pinned low profile block if the delay for this one is too long. Will it at least be ready for this month? Also, any word on the price?
Thanks |

Phosphate Blocks and the Oxide adjuster screw combo will also be available as the standard finish. NiBo Blocks and NiBo screw will be our new premium finish for the DA6 and DA7's. .625" Clamp on will be available Monday .750" Clamp on will be available Midweek next. Prices for these will remain the same as current screw type DA7's. NiBo versions wil cost a bit more of course. |
