I would like a gas block for an upcoming 300 BO build that is on or off, no in between tuning required.   A switch or dial would be great, nothing that requires a tool.   Of course, I’d have to consider it getting hot, but nothing like using a screw driver or long hex key.

If it has a couple of intermediate positions, thats fine, but prefer a two position.  

Thanks.

I believe the Noveske Switchblock has unsuppressed, off, and suppressed settings but I'm not aware of any other gas block that just has an on and off setting.

That’ll definitely work.  Thanks.   Is it still made?    Seems like it’s out of stock every where.    

At least I know that something is out there.    Anything else?

Forgot, I’ll need an appropriate gas tube as well for a 7.5 inch pistol gas Faxon barrel.

Unfortunately, it seems like you'd have to buy an entire barrel to get the gas block...

But here's a link to a straight gas tube.

I didn't know the switch block was discontinued.

You could get a Griffin disk to work as suppressed, unsuppressed, and off. Might have to do a drill your own disk to get an "off" position.

I think the Griffin would be perfect for you.
