Canted noveske gas block

[dewshe]

Is it really that big of a deal? I can see some of you don't like Noveske because of there price but I will say I have 6 or 7 Noveske barrels and they are great if you bought for the right application. You are bitching about a look it is a tool go shoot it and kick in a few door and don't worry about scratches.

The issue was never about the visual appeal, but rather the functional effect of a canted block, and further, at what point the deviation would cause a failure of some sort. Failure either deriving from gas ports/holes not lining up correctly, or the gas tube/key connection.

The manufacturer (Noveske, in this case) was quick to point out that the block was within tolerance without ever measuring the deviation, and has yet to provide acceptable tolerances. How he could eyeball acceptable tolerance is beyond me, and seems like a liability to attempt.
