XtReMe90 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 How much clearance is needed between the top of the gasblock and the sides of the gas tube channel of the handguard? I installed a SLR sentry 7 set screw version on a SLR 16.5" solo lite and I maybe have a 1/32 clearance before it would hit the sides of the gas tube channel on the handguard. I know that using a comp most of the force will be pushing the barrel down so I'm assuming I will be ok.... what's everyone's thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TISCHLJ Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) This has been discussed...likely contact with HG at recoil depending on barrel profile...had same issue..ended up grinding inside of HG... Edited March 2, 2017 by TISCHLJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug H. Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) I like to have more clearance on the bottom of the gas block. When you use the handguard for support it can deflect up quite a bit depending on the design. I just use a dremel or disk sander to reduce the size of the gas block. A little black spray paint hides the changes. Doug Edited March 5, 2017 by Doug H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
