Hi all:
Got a question regarding adjustable vs. non adjustable gas blocks.
I've been using adjustable gas blocks on my 2 ARs and with very good results; guns run great with them.
However, one thing that's always on my mind is if the block gets enough burned powder residue in it, then it's going to stop cycling. I try to keep the tube & block as clean as I can when I clean the guns, but my feeling is that sooner or later the block is going to get clogged enough were it won't pass enough gas through it.
Also, to do a really good job on cleaning the block & tube means having to take off the front guard, remove the flash suppressor and then disconnecting the block and then put it all back together which is not a small job.
So, that being the case, my question is: even with the advantage of one, is it really worth using an adjustable gas block?
Thanks for replies
