DD Lite and Gas Block

[Switek]

I see this text on a vendor's website:


The Lite rails that are now in stock are the newest version that allow you to install the gas block and gas tube prior to installation of the rail. This just the improvement the Lite Rails needed.

If I interpret that correctly, the rear of the DD Lite no longer looks like the photo below? Anyone have a current photo of it?

It doesn't and I don't have a picture, but I've installed 3 of the new generation of Lite rails and they are all cut similarly to the Larue rail to allow for clearance of their own clamp on gas block. Their gas block happens to be a little more bulky than the Vltor style low profile block so it easily accommodates many different blocks. check out their website for a pic of the gas block and you can imagine how the lock up flange has been machined to clear it.
