I am about to order this Vltor Clamp On GB .750,  anyone has experience if this GB will have enough clearance under Troy VTAC Alpha Rail.
And how about a Daniel Defense clamp on Gas Block?

Thanks in advance!

I have a low pro under a Troy rail that's not clam op it's set screw and there's plenty of room so I'd honestly think you would be gtg.

Thanks! Do you think the DD GB is a smaller/better choice for Troy rail?

Either would be fine.

I haven't used the Vltor or DD.

The Syrac clamp-on adjustable gas block and the YHM clamp-on both have clearance issues with the Troy handguard. The YHM block also has clearance issues with the Midwest SS Gen 2.

Thank you. I will try to use DD clamp on this time and let you guys know if it has clearance issues.

Hey so how did it work out? I'm looking to put in a DD lp clamp on gas block with a alpha rail myself (or another clamp-on style lp gas block, rather than a gas block with set screws).  Did it have any clearance issues? should I just get one with set screws?

Would also like to know if you had any issues with clearance with the DD GB.  I have the YHM clamp on and it is touching the bottom of my alpha rail.

I'm currently running a DD clamp on lo-pro gas block under a Troy Alpha 13" with no clearance issues. The only way you would run into clearance issues with either the DD or VLTOR gas block under an Alpha is if it was a flip-up front sight model and the gas block was directly under the sight. Otherwise plenty of room for either gas block. After looking again, they are just thousandths from touching..

eta: you might also WILL have issues if you try to mount a rail section under the gas block.

Personally I wouldn't use this one. Flat head screws are more prone to having the Allen socket strip out. Due to their smaller size, using the same size thread.
Go with the regular socket head every time.
