[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Gas block clearance

Posted: 4/25/2010 1:54:31 PM EDT

I'm just wondering if anyone knows what freefloat rail systems will fit over a chopped fsb glas block.

I'm looking at putting an 11 or 12 inch on my 16in rifle with a carbine length gas system.

Any first hand experience on the subject is appreciated.

I've been looking at a lot of different brands, I just want to know what will fit over this thing.

How far did you chop it?

Basically chopped it down as far as possible without compromising the functionality of the gas block. It's pretty much just like the one in the How to thread above.

About anything will fit over a cut-down FSB.

Thanks for the reply. So do y'all think it will fit under a larue rail? The $60 saved by not purchasing a low profile gas block puts that within my price range. I have never seen one up close but the larue rails look mighty low profile themselves.
