Set Screw Gas Block Dimple at Edward Mozingo blog

Set Screw Gas Block Dimple. There should be approx 0.025 gap to account for the steel hand guard cap if the gas port was. Our gas block has two set screws spaced 0.400 apart, center from center. I have used pinned gas blocks, gas blocks without dimples under the set screws, and set screws with dimples under them. However, you will need to be more careful setting up the barrel to do the dimples if you choose to use set screws. A1/a2 front sight bases and low profile gas blocks don't hit the barrel shoulder. A small dimple in one or more set screw locations allows the screws to sink deeper and better engage the barrel. A dimple drilled as it helps to keep the block from moving on the harder kicking calibers. I feel set screw is the least desirable, but if you're gonna do it, dimple your barrel and use rocksett on the set screws. Some barrels are hard enough steel that the set screws will not make a deep enough. Identify your gas block's set screw pattern.
