Hello,
So a few months ago I put a free float hand guard on my AR15 and went with an aluminum gas block. I allowed the guy at the LGS to talk me into it and I almost immediately regretted it. I have taken the rifle out once since I installed the GB and put a over 100rds through it with 100% reliability.
Since then I have bought a steel gas block because everything I have read online has said aluminum GB are a failure waiting to happen. So here are my questions:
1. Would you ahead and put the steel GB on the rifle or wait until there is an issue?
2. Has anyone had success with aluminum GB's? How many rounds have you put down range with it?
Thanks everyone,
Ty
