Hey anyone have Ron at Allen Engineering's email address? Their website is down and I don't do faceblock. (Opsec ;) I need to ask him for a part. Feel free to IM me if you don't want to post here. Would be greatly appreciated.
I guess I can ask here too. Anyone know where I can get a proper sized set screw for the ops collar? I got a SWEET long collar from CD but the set screw I had here is slightly too large |

In case anyone's looking, I just listed a DD Mk12 gas block in the EE. Pretty sure those are clone correct. |

I need to track down a long collar as well. Need it to be USMC clone correct. Have been using a shorty.

Thanks Engineer5
I got an email back from Ron A. "Most hardware stores will carry it. 6-32 x 1/8" long. Takes a 1/16 Allen wrench. Usually around fifteen cents each or so. Let me know if you have problems finding it." What a good dude. |

That small 1/16th head strips easily. Not the threads but the socket area where the allen goes. I ended up just drilling and tapping for a larger set screw on the advice of some other members here. |

A Mod 0 upper from PRi will be delivered tomorrow and I have to admit that I'm a bit giddy right now. I may even hit the sack early just so tomorrow gets here sooner.
