Yes plans never go as planned and my watch is broken but it's been a great start to the new year. The 3-4 new gas block models and the 6 new hand guards have been a ton of work. SHOT is next week and we are trying launch a new website this week along with about 50 other things. Then you have the nonstop phone calls( which I really enjoy meeting you guys), non stop email inquiries and the time gets away from you. Finally just keeping up with the days orders and getting everything out in time is a huge effort. We are getting there with the DA7-SAT and DA7-R I'll show something in a bit just waiting for Alfredo to get a file done. We are shooting for a SHOT show release but I'm afraid we might not make it. Thanks Todd@SLR Damn it Alfredo. Get your sh#t together....

Hmm. That looks interesting, but it won't work for me. I'm assuming that's the satellite block? Is that the "tool-less" one you've been talking about?

Is this your "tool-less" design? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Is this your "tool-less" design? Yep sure is Parley, Thank you. -If you put the two parts together, it is the same length as a DA7. - Adjustment of buried gas blocks is now be able to done in seconds. -Rear block ( Set screw mount) is a truly micro block that fits under the tube HG's with no gas tube channel. -Front block (Clamp on) houses the detent assembly and can be flush with the end of the HG or just in front of one if its a true tube. -There is virtually no added weight. The connecting rod is carbon fiber. -T shaped adjuster slides left or right to allow rotation of adjustment screw. No tools. -Detent assembly is away from gas block gasses, carbon and heat. - Supplied set of connecting rods allows a variety of lengths to be utilized. The DA7-SAT is coming first in .750, then .875 and .936 offerings. Its not meant to replace the current SLR gas blocks only add a another option to use a quick adjust block when using total tube HG's are super long handguards. Hopefully these will be on the site by the end of the month. More coming... |

1) Will the Satellite version have a deleterious effect on barrel harmonics, and therefore accuracy?
2) Will there be a clamp-on version of the “rear” block? 3) Will there be a “conversion kit" so a DA7-C (or others) can be upgraded to a Satellite version? |

After I posted this, I looked through more of the 13 pages. There is a link where a guy (Josh06 or something like that) posted a video. It shows no bolt movement with it closed off. The same type of video on the Syrac gas block shows the bolt moving... just not enough to extract/eject. Looks like maybe 1/2" or so... hard to 'measure' in the video.
Thanks for the reply. 8654 Quote HistoryQuoted:

There is .195" of clearance between the bottom of the barrel and the bottom part of the CMR rail. According to dimensions on the SLR website, the DA7 is .175" thick at the bottom. You might have to grind a little bit of material off to account for barrel whip. |

On the road today but I'll clear some things up.
No floppy parts here. Adjuster slides right , left and center Locks straight up or centered if horizontal Don't think accuracy will be affected the connector is not a hard mount per se. Right now the rear block will be set screw mounted to keep it as low profile as possible to get under all Handguards Alfredo will be posting some pics of actual parts here in a bit The adj screws, connecting parts are not ready yet but the pics have the beta test hardware installed on the production blocks Remember these are not for every application, just for times where the std blocks won't fit or are difficult to access Todd |

Thanks, 8654 OFF is OFF Blow though them when you get it. Usually position1 is off too. That's the toughest thing to get right in production when running hundreds and hundreds at a time. The Nexturn Swiss made adjustment screws are the only way to pull this off 100% gas closure with a metal to metal tolerance requires a damn near .0+- tolerance Each and every block is checked for total gas cutoff when it's built If it does not seal completely it does not leave the shop. Luckily for our customers we have it dialed. |

Todd, so i am having a REALLY difficult time deciding if should get a DA7-C or wait for the Satellite. i love the idea of the Satellite with the remote adjustment and no tools. but the idea of a simple single mount block vs. the more complicated two piece design w/ connecting rod. i figure that once i have my suppressor and the gas block tuned i will rarely shoot it without. and its not that hard to throw an allen wrench in the range bag. some questions:is their that much of a carbon build up issue with the standard block over time? can the standard one be removed and sonic cleaned once a year or so to help keep it clean? have you tried any bench rest accuracy testing to see if it will have an effect? i know that in all reality it will probably not effect practical accuracy for a fighting style rifle but just want to maximize my rifles potential. thanks in advance and can't wait to buy one or the other ASAP to put my rifle back together!!

Well simple is nice. Carbon will be the same no matter what I just say when you clean your rifle, turn the screw in all the way and then back to your position. That's it. I go hundreds of rounds of full auto in between messing with mine. I never take them off. The tolerances are so tight there really is no room for carbon buildup. |
