Hey guys, just ordered my lower for my 6.8 SPC build. This is going to be a precision/hunting build. I plan on getting a bipod and mounting a scope. A FSB is optional. I am looking at this complete upper: However, being the noob that I am, I am a little overwhelmed by the choices available. Can anyone give me a good run down on these items? 1) What are all those muzzle devices for? Can I get a pro/con on some of this? Whats your choice and why? 2) What is stake carrier option? 3) What does a pinned gas block give you? 4) What gas block would be best for my stated application? Sorry guys, but a lot of this is new to me and I want to make an informed decision. ETA: Got some good info off their site. Still interested in opinions though. |

Some stop muzzle climb....some diminish flash...... 2) What is stake carrier option? It's spec to stake the carrier key. Y/M does not stake. 3) What does a pinned gas block give you? Pinned is more secure than set screws or clamps. All work. 4) What gas block would be best for my stated application? Probably a low pro. Sorry guys, but a lot of this is new to me and I want to make an informed decision. Open a Google search box. Type in your key word. Choose "Images" Now you are doing an Image search which can often be more informative than a simple search. All your questions have been asked thousands of times, so there is lots of data to search. |

Never had a problem with a non pinned but less likely with pinned. I would get a low profile pinned block. That way if you desire a longer rail or free float tube you won't have to replace or modify your gas block. |

Another reliablity option. [/div][div]4) What gas block would be best for my stated application?[/div][div]
There really is no 'best' just preferences. Make sure the block is steel, and if you don't want a front sight then I'd suggest a low profile one that can fit under a free-float rail - but that is my preference Sorry guys, but a lot of this is new to me and I want to make an informed decision .
No problem, that is what we're here for. Welcome to the site! |
