    You can either drill a hole in the handguard, or install the gas block with the handguard torqued not-quite all the way. Make sure you support the barrel at the block while you’re whacking the pin. Mine is carbine gas, but I’ve done it on all the usual lengths.

    URX4 are far easier to install with Knights gas block system as it is locked into place with a castle nut. If done correctly it does not need to be pinned. Anyone that has ever attempted to take off a BCM installed gas block knows this. All you need to do is properly dimple the barrel and use knurled cup tip screws with red loctite. Often times this type of setup will need to be drilled out.
