Methods of assembly -- question about gas port alignment

[Ricrock]

I use the SLR jig to drill the dimple opposite the gas port. Then I slide on the gas block and use this tool to mark and dimple the second hole. It doesn't matter what the spacing on the gas block is, this will give you two, (or three) dimples to line up the gas block perfectly!

Why not use the drill bushing from the SLR jig? Are the threads on the SLR jig not 10-32?

My gas block had weird set screw spacing, neither .400 nor .450 probably closer to .475 or so (doesn't really matter), so I couldn't use the jig to drill the second hole. The Drill guide on the SLR jig uses a much larger thread (close to 1/4") than the gas block. The EZ Accurizer is the same thread as the gas block, plus it has a integral center punch to make a small dimple to center the drill on when drilling. Anyway the combination of the two tools worked perfect for me, and I have also seen gas blocks with three set screws, this method would work for them as well. You could probably use the accurizer to drill all the dimples, but I wanted my gas block to be aligned perfectly! And it is.

Hope this helps someone.

Helped me. Thanks for explaining.

The difference is that there are MULTIPLE CURRENT or more recent threads regarding this issue.

What difference does it make? It's still good information and it might help someone.
