I designed a block for my gas block to support it during installation of the gas tube. I took the measurements and to create an exact opposite of the gas block in auto desk inventor and then sent it over to the 3d printer. Waiting results. SLR MIGHT WANT TO TAKE NOTES ? Just thinking you could probly sell a bunch of block tools if you made them. I would I buy one. I love the gas blocks you make. And sorry if I sounded snarky on the take notes part didn't mean it that way. Just giving you an idea |

My impatience got the best of me today... I put a DA9 on my pistol length SBR and realized there was an issue with the gas tube not lining up , then reread Todd's post about needing a straight gas tube with the DA9. Couldn't find one ANYWHERE that was pistol length so I straightened one out. Finally got it on the gun, test fire went great so I went to put it together and the Hand guard won't fit. I don't really have the money to buy one from SLR and it APPEARED to be just a slight clearance issue... so... off to the grinder I go. Took the top screw flush with the gas block (it stuck up just a little) and took some off the bottom edges of the gas block more or less. After several passes and test fits I realize it will never fit because my HG doesn't have the channel to fit over the gas tube. FML! So now guess what I am asking for Christmas. Todd to give us a great price break on a 7" SOLO HG. I am desperate need of finishing this build.   LoL Worm. 
-When you order there is a spec PDF with dimensions -Right at top it says the DA8/9's use straight gas tubes -Right at the top it says DA8/9's are for SR-25/AR10 (.308) pattern AR's Give me a call at the shop and I'll see if we can come up with a solution for your dilemma. Great post, had a laugh with WonderBoy when reading this tonight. 
We'll come up with something for you. Todd@SLR |

Ahhh yes.....The DA7-SAT (Satellite) I will be releasing some info any day now. Actually we have 2 new DA versions coming next week and a who new ballgame coming by the end of the month. It will not replace the DA series just compliment and fill in some gaps like small I.D.tube handguards, buried gas blocks and a slick toolless adjuster. The Nexturn Swiss CNC is working overtime on this one. All stainless internals. Stay tuned... Waiting patiently 
Ok, not so patiently....

I'm looking forward to the new tool-less variant also.
Just my .02, and not to be critical by any means... If SLR introduced melonited or IonBonded stainless construction and cleaned up some of the machine finishes, the Syrac would have nothing over the SLR. That's not even getting into a discussion regarding customer service where Todd really shines. |

Thanks guys.
Tomorrow I will post pics of 2 new DA variants. The DA7-L (Lite). Narrow .750 Set screw version small enought to clear the DD Lite HG's rear mount. The DA8-C V2 which is also narrower and has a lower overall height to fit all .308 channeled HG's. All of the DA8/9's will eventually be V2. If you run the gas block in front of the HG then it's not an issue. Although exposed gas blocks are much more common in the large bore AR's we will keep trying to evolve DA series to fill the needs you ask for. The DA-7 R will be too less so there is a delay until that mechanism I gets through production. The new Satellite tool less gas blocks are coming next. I hope to let the cat out of the bag this week.

ThanksTodd, my DA-7 SSC arrived today, trading Florida sunshine for California sunshine. Just finished the test fit on a 13.7" Rainier Ultramatch Barrel, under a Geissele MK2 13" rail. The Rainier barrel has a dimple predrilled that aligns perfectly with the rear set screw...what a bonus. Just waiting on a Flaming Pig to arrive to be pinned & welded. Then I'll dial this agb in properly.

I was waiting for another company for the last few months to get one of their set screw detent ajustable blocks, not knowing about SLR or this thread. I just got off the phone with SLR this afternoon and placed an order for the DA7. Glad I called and spoke to SLR. Seems like a great company.

So does anyone know if the DA9 would work on a JP medium contour 18 in barrel and fit under a troy alpha rail? this is going to be a 5.56 gun if it matters.

Our best selling large bore Gas block is the DA8-C
In order to get it to fit under all the .308 channeled HG's out there we redesigned the profile of the DA8-C. Its quite a bit lower from enter bore upward. This gives easy clearance to the .308 HG's on the market now. Available now. New lower profile DA9's will be available soon as well. I'll get a dimension PDF up ASAP. New Left. 
DA8-C 2.0

If it's rifle gas then our current gas blocks are fine. If your gas block is more than 4 inches under the HG the the new DA7-SAT will be the ticket. Thank you! Todd@SLR |

Todd@SLR well its a mid-length gas system on a 16" barrel, but the rail is a 15" rail so it will be tucked up in there a ways. whats the ETA on the new block? im kind of impatient :) lol |

Will the DA7-C work on 14.5 middy with YHM Todd Jarrett 12" handguard? I think the DA7 will be in range of the existing adjuster. |

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 |
