[QUOTE="lkothe, post: 2947698, member: 30900"] When I stopped by FBT this afternoon I took down some gas block sizes...........guess what, my barrel is .875 (between the gas port and the barrel nut), FBT has a low profile gas block .875 for $24.99! ! ! Anybody up for helping me measure and drill a new gas port on my S/S barrel?? :) If I have time tomorrow or Saturday I will probably just buy the gas block and tube, see how many minds can assist me with measuring and double checking and we'll drill a new gas port in this darn thing! Now for covering up the old gas port. I would imagine that welding would be the most accepted method but would it be possible to buy another low profile gas block, grind off the tube side so it's fairly round and install with one of the set screws in the top of the gas port? IF, it will clear my low profile hand guard. Give me your opinion. If you have the capability and skill to weld the port close, I'd be willing to let you do it also. Deano [/QUOTE]
