    In theory, pinning would be more secure. In practice, this is enough. especially if you stake the set screw so it can't back out, but high temp loctite should be enough to keep it from moving. The block is very well protected from abuse by the rail.

    The upper was assembled by BCM and I received nearly the same response. They also noted that it was small and light weight.

    You'll get both answers on this site. Some people would never use a non-pinned gas block on a serious use rifle. Others will say that as long as it is done by someone who knows what they are doing (like BCM or G&R Tactical) and the gas block is covered by a rail, then dimpled, set screw, and high-temp loc tite or rocksett is fine. I'll let you know if I have any trouble

    Searching G&R Tactical

    All I see is the BCM Hammer Forged upper. 16" barrel is listed as out of stock.

    Really? Did you look at the first item on page one of the BCM page?

    Grant BCM Light weight middy

    Sorry for my "ignorance" but I thought I would see a referece to that Upper being light weight. In your opinion, would this mate well with one of your DD lowers? I'm in no hurry so I could wait until the BCM lowers are available again. I really like the options you offer for building a DD lower. I'm a little slow here as this will be my first AR purchase. Been reading this site for about two months.

    Thanks for the answers! I have one on the way now too

    You do. It is listed as 16" Light Weight on our website.

    Yes on working with the DD lowers.
