In the final stages of testing the rifle whose block was not pinned, had the block walk and it began to malfunction, they lost. This is why- supposedly- Mr. Leclair at Centurion insists on pinning all his gas blocks- and one reason I buy his guns!
    The truth can only offend those who live a lie.

    Yep. We've had a block slide. But it wasn't dimpled. I'm completely fine with a dimple and set screw. I'll even stake a set screw.

    I do agree that pinning is far superior, my lo pro block guns are more likely to be long range shooters or just funzy guns.

    All of my rifles have FSB. I see no reason to get rid of them. They work.

    Id like to see the source on this, since Crane adopted the Mk12 SPR. AFAIK the Mk12 to this day still doesnt have a pinned gas block, and unlike the SOPMODs or URGIs the gas block sits outside the rail.

    I have this strange desire to do a MRP mock Dissipator with a 14.5" MRP barrel.

    Not only FSB’s in 2020, but 20” barrels and A2 stocks as well.

    This 20” BCM upper with Trijicon TA31F-G is my favourite rifle I own.
