    I have one of those and it seems to work. I have very few rounds through it so far though. What's your experience been?

I went with the Superlative Arms for the fact that since I run suppressed sometimes, they have a bleed off valve. The thing that makes the Superlative so cool is that it can be run as a normal, restrictive block, or, when running a can, and you don’t want ANY excess pressure going into your suppressor, you can run the block as a bleed off. Running it this way allows the excess gas to be vented out the block, and NOT down your barrel into your suppressor. I really like the blocks. They work absolutely as advertised. It has allowed me to get the block adjusted to exactly the point that my rifle functions 100% reliably, but NO excess gas is vented down the barrel. They are made in a way as the adjustment detention is external, thus it will not be carboned up and stick. I have since installed one on every rifle I shoot. I have about 1000 rounds down the pipe on my main gun. I shot it until it was absolutely filthy dirty, with zero malfunctions.

    I am a fan, and a big believer now.
    Does your adjustment feel kind of loose? Mine is very easy to adjust.

    I love them. I only shoot suppressed, and the bleed off position keeps even more gas out of my face.
    I’ve got 4 and they are the only block I buy now.

    Regards the Superlative, I must be the resident dummy as I can't seem to get the bleed off to work for me. 11.5" BCM barrel/SilencerCo Omega.

    Best luck I have had is with the Noveske Switchblocks, but they are a more specific application and don't allow for tuning the gas. After that the JP adjustables work fine for me as well.

    Going against the grain to some extent I prefer the clamp on style, and have not witnessed any issues with operational failure of these units. Of course YMMV.
