    I have been an adjustable gas block hater !

    But I have a Noveske 10.5 with front sight base with a blow hole out of this world. I have many NFA rifles, and never have I even considered an adjustable gas block. But here I am.

    I looked up old threads. Several were 2015... I want the most robust gas block. Least moving parts. I really don't care if it's adjustable, I just want it small. I dislike moving parts but again, here I am.

    For those of you that have actually used them, what should I get.

    Syrac and SLR are the two I have seen/ head of.

    I personally have a syrac gen II on my LR-308. Very easy to adjust, I have not had any issues with it. To keep it from carbon binding (have heard this can happen), I move it about 4-5 clicks back and forth after I shoot it just to ensure it doesn't bind.

    It is very easy to adjust and only has a detent which holds the screw in place. Based on my experience, I would recommend one or get another if I need an adjustable block.

    Hope this helps.

    I have both the Syrac & SLR. I prefer the SLR for its simplicity.

    I believe Syrac is out of business anyway, so it's moot point.

    I've had best luck out of the SLR. But I don't adjust them, I tune them to the lowest setting which the gun runs and leave them alone to never be adjusted again. Great for suppressor use with one ammo type.

    Seekins Precision - It works and at $60, the price can't be beat.

    That's how I found out. I had the Syrac Gen II first & was in the market for another AGB. After shopping for another one, I noticed everywhere showed OOS or discontinued so I started doing some research. They have a FB page saying they're not out of business but there hasn't been an entry for months.

    Kinda glad though; it forced me to try an SLR & I couldn't be happier. They do still get crusty, just like the Syrac, so they need a few turns every now and then to break it free.

    I have an SLR on a rifle that has been fine. However in considering another adjustable gas block for a 10.5" barrel I'm actually leaning toward a custom tune gas port from black river tactical. Have you considered that?

    Markm already knows the answer to this common problem.

    A BRT CustomTune Gas Port has no moving parts and threads inside your existing pinned FSB.

    You can't get more robust than that.
