[QUOTE="Sgt Dog, post: 3841209, member: 15840"] The note I left myself in the drawer is #41. I had to drive to a hardware store downtown after calling around. I’d send you one if you don’t have any luck. I do wonder about the 0.093 vs the 0.0960 though. I’m functioning but turned down by half on the gas block shooting 168gr Federal Gold Dot. When I say ‘half’ I mean nearly half in ‘clicks’. That could be deceiving. I’ll look for a thread I started in which fellas chimed into that has a boatload of info. The claims were 0.0960 was the call-out for an 18” barrel. Changes significantly with length. But I wonder. And volume calculations change significantly as you increase in size. I’ll post a link to the thread if I find it. Its worth the read for a couple imbedded links pointing back to the .308Community forum. One discusses the length if the gas tube and how you can determin if that could be an issue. It frequently is, because a lot of suppliers provide one 3/16” too short. This one is too long. Should fall exactly in the middle of that cut-out. To short is worse than too long - for reasons of escaping gas in the gas key. [/QUOTE]
