Curious what is the advantage in a gas block for a NiBo finnish over the phosphate?
Thanks, Steven |

Curious what is the advantage in a gas block for a NiBo finnish over the phosphate? Thanks, Steven Its a much harder and slippery finish. Makes it tougher for carbon to grab a hold of the adjuster screw and screw bore with NiBo. We have had zero problems with the phosphate/ Oxide combo. Our plater now offers NiBo at a good price and we have watched them get the finish a consistent thickness on other parts so it was time to go ahead and offer it to the public. Also 5.45 shooters will finally be able to use an adjustable block with confidence. Corrosive ammo is tough on small parts directly in the gas stream. We will offer both finishes. Finally Monday the first of these will be ready in .625" and .750" by Mid Week. I'll have pics up of all of them on monday. |

2 weeks the first batch will be ready. Thanks for all the patience. .625 and .750 are both running now. I'll post some pics of the batch that went to plating when I get back to the office. Todd@SLR Todd, Any estimate as to when you might come out with a .936" clamp-on version? |

December is what we are shooting for.
A limited run of .875" and .936". They will require a straight gas tube and only work with .308 Pattern AR Hanguards. I will try and get a Model file up soon. We just need to 3D print it and make sure it's GTG before we start making chips. Hope that helps. Todd |

Just ordered a DS7-C. A work of art. Shame it will be covered/protected by the handguard.
Would it be OK to have a DS7-C not be covered/protected by a handguard? Does SLR recommend a thread locker (ex. Rocksett) in the clamping screws? |

Does SLR recommend a thread locker (ex. Rocksett) in the clamping screws? You can hang it out in the breeze if you want. You can use whatever you want to lock the screws even staking them a bit. I never use anything though on the bolts. Never had one come loose and I run them harder than most to find weak areas. Just tighten up a to a firm pressure. And thank you Nada! Todd@SLR |

Do you provide recommendations on gas screw settings (turns) based on barrel length and block position (and gas hole diameter)?
For example on a 11 1/2" SBR barrel. |

Thanks Todd!
It's a satisfying sight to see the SLR websites checkout page give you that "Order confirmed.." message Looking forward to the arrival of a DA7-C, 12" Intrepid KM and 16" barrel. Been great dealing with Todd G. and plan to do more in the future.
...now if I can only find a mid-length, blackened gas tube to go with the barrel

Single round in mag Go in 1 pos each shot until bolt will not lock back. Back out 1 pos Repeat 1 round bolt shod lock back Run full mag Any malfunction go out 1 more pos That's a general way to do it New rifles may need more gas until they break in Gimme a call if you need any help.

Great info Todd.
Solves many issues for me from 20" to SBRs. In essence adjust the gas pressure slightly above what is needed to operate. Thank you very much. |

I've wanting to build an SBR for years. What barrel length have you focused on or prefer? From research, it seems 11.5" in 5.56mm is quite good. Thanks |

I think I'll be using one of these on my CMR upper I am going to build.
I like the fact that there is only one screw to worry about...no set screw to undo and screw back in every time you want to adjust it |
