No. 2 types. One flush with rcvr rail and the other lower. This will determine the height of sight you need.

Something like this is what you seek, same height as the receiver flat top.

Be advised, many of of these types of gas blocks are aluminum, you DO NOT want an aluminum gas block. If in doubt, put a magnet on it, if it doesn't hold it is aluminum.
