[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 3005308, member: 7157"] Thanks for the comments, folks. It's a generic low-profile gas block - I think I picked it up from FBT, but I can't be sure. I did wonder about the front/rear and side-to-side alignment of the block; I made darn sure it was aligned vertically, and I did tighten it down about the width of a playing card ahead of the stop on the barrel. I guess I'll just have to do what dbleak did - try fiddling with the alignment of the gas block while at the range and see if that doesn't work. Btw, when I mentioned sooting, I meant no more than usual - the tiny ring around the edge of the gas port. Not a huge swath extending along the barrel. Even with the rifle length gas and extreme compensator, and weak .223 ammo, one can still expect the AR to cycle with a properly aligned gas block? In other words, the main culprit would be a misalgned block? [/QUOTE]
