    You must train with Voda. I can't imagine anyone else allowing someone to muzzle a class like that.

    Apparently you aren't aware of the concept or reason for a fiddle table at firearms training courses.

    Cracks me up how someone who rolls their eyes at non pinned gas blocks could find BUIS unnecessary.

    Pinning a gas block takes about 5 minutes with a drill press and costs nothing. And when I shoot my glued-on gas block off in a course...the gun doesn't shoot and I have to disassemble it to re-glue it back on. As opposed just slapping the optic back on and giving that big-ass PRO knob a twist.

    Tracking, you’re a guncamp hobbyist who can’t figure out loctite and doesn’t understand how the tempo of a gunfight works.

    That would be an important observation if I ever had to worry about being in a gunfight with my rifle. That is not one of my fantasies. YMMV.

    Apparently you are active component, and as such I totally agree with your viewpoint on BUIS.

    Perhaps you need to consider different perspectives. Some folks like shooting in the same way others like golf or fishing. And some folks like cosplay, running around pretending to be in the Army. I get that, some of the best times of my life were in the service, but, you know, I got out....

    If your thoughts are not that you will be likely to use your rifle to save your family, is it unreasonable to trust the normally reliable optic for your recreational shooting and eschew redundant BUIS? I don't think so.

    Likewise, if you have experienced, or seen others experience a set-screwed gas-block come loose, something that can't be readily fixed at the safe/cold table, is it unreasonable to default to pinned gas-blocks? Once again, I don't think so.

    As has been mentioned, unpinned gas-blocks from companies such as BCM, rarely, if ever, come loose because they are installed correctly. The problem generally lies with the DIY'er who doesn't do the install correctly.

    Myself, I check stuff for tightness on my rifles, either physically, or visually by index marks. You don't have to worry about a properly installed roll-pin.
