    Haven't tried one, but looks like it should work.

    Not to sound snooty... but who needs a jig? Just dimple it. I've done some with a hand drill... before I had a drill press.

    I agree with MarkM. If you insist here is an inexpensive good quality one: http://slrrifleworks.com/index.php?r...product_id=579

    I use Geissele gas blocks, their instruction for installation w/o a dimple jig are straightforward and simple. I've posted them before in other places, you can adapt the drill bit size to whatever size set screw your gas block needs:

    Come on Mark, I know you have a Custom Dimple Jig hangin out with your gold plated inch/lb torque wrench.

    I have the original smooth side BRD .750” jig. But, like Mark, I didn’t struggle to get a perfect dimple with a hand drill before I had it.

    The SLR looks great. If you’re using a set screw gas block, there’s just zero reason to not dimple your barrel. Granted, I only create a dimple opposite the gas port.

    I know I'm a little late to the party, but I wanted to share a recent experience. I've had the SLR jig for several years now. During my latest build I noticed the drill bit guide was becoming out of round. I sent off an email Sunday night, asking if I could purchase a new one. I included my original order number (after some digging in my email) and got a response before 8am Monday morning.... "Don't worry about ordering a new one, we will drop one in the mail to you this morning"

    I got the replacement two days later. No charge. Couldn't be happier to do business with people like that.

    That is super customer service. I'm glad I bought their jig for myself. This, as well as the quality and pricing of their dimple jig, will prompt me to look to them in the future.
