Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By smitty_007: Curious about the change to the gas block...this is the description on the Brownells MK18 DD stripped upper. It’s a little unclear that they are using the MK12 GB...I don’t understand why they don’t just say it’s the “MK12 Gas Block”. Makes me think it’s something different now: “The gas system is made up of the set screw Torx low-profile gas block CNC machined from 4140 hardened steel with mil-spec heavy phosphate coating.” Isn’t it suppose to be stainless steel too? I know the badger ordinance is. |

I know the badger ordinance is. Yes, it is supposed to be a type of stainless steel, 416 stainless steel machined bar stock. Many other stainless steel gas blocks, such as Geissele and Vltor, are made of cast 17-4 stainless steel. There are few clone MK12 gas blocks made of carbon steel and of chrome moly steel too. Sometimes, but not often, 410 stainless steel is used to make gas blocks. |

I have one of the non-pinned, MK12 gas block version from Brownells from 2019, IIRC. They went to that after they stopped pinning them...now I’m wondering if they went away from the MK12 altogether. Would be a bummer... |

The Brownell's description was a bit disingenuous saying it was the same gas block currently issued to SOF or something like that. It is issued... on the URG-I. |

Took a gamble on 2 of these tonight. Used condition, we'll see what shows up and if they are the right ones.. If they are its a 2:1 deal versus buying new. I also ordered 2 of the Colt F/A non hot dog selector kits from Brownells. I'll have to do some filing when they arrive. It's time to swap safeties from the old brownells colt lowers.
 Colt Used 3-Position ambi full auto selectors |
