Since I value everyone's experience and advice on this forum, I thought I'd ask another question regarding my gas block… Thanks in advance.
Yesterday I took my AR into a gunsmith I was referred to, to changed my aluminum gas block to a steel Midwest Industries low profile gas block. I decided to have it done "professionally" so I could install a gas block I trusted and put this behind me.
When I got the rifle back I gave it a quick look at the shop and thought it looked great. Today I decided to clean and lubricate the rifle and noticed that the gas block is canted at about a 12:30 angle. I was pretty upset that this wasn't don't correctly since I took the time and spent the money to have someone do this…
I haven't shot the rifle yet but plan on it this weekend. If it isn't 100% like before I am taking it back to get fixed. If it does run 100% with the different ammo I am bring I am wondering what everyone else would do? Would you live with the slightly canted GB? Am I just being OCD? Or should I insist the smith tears down this rifle again and fixes it?
Thanks!
