How important is a pinned-on gas block?
I have a 16" middy with a DD Lite 9.0 handguard and a standard triangle front sight block, which is pinned on. This is my "go-to" gun. I would like to get rid of the gas block, but the bolt-on flip up types don't have my confidence for this rifle. I also would rather not go through the expense of buying a new hand guard, so my question is this: is an exposed but pinned-on low profile gas block considered to rugged enough for serious use?
