any specific questions that aren't answered here?

Yes I looked at that MM; great info! I just wanted to hear small talk and perhaps see some more buildss. I don't see too many of these in the pic threads. I have the PRI and it's great, but I'd like to try one of these....it has a lower profile folded than the PRI, has a QD sling swivel socket built in, and has the taper-pin option, so it sounds interesting. Doesn't cost a bazillion dollars like the KAC either.

Oh yeah! I also had a question for the Experts:
Can the VST be used with plastic handguards? Meaning, is the length of the unit optomized for butting up gainst the gas block shoulder, or is there room for the handguard cap?

yes, there's the standard gap for the handguard cap. it's not butted up against the shoulder.
Well, I got mine installed.
I got the pinned version, for extra security:
I like it so much I will get another for my next build. Unless you are going low profile, this is the gas block to use, INHO.

This may look very good with my DD 12.0 FSP![]()

I've had the PRI unit in the past; very nice, but this one has a much lower profile. In fact, the top rail height on the gas block is the same as the DD handguard rail....so, go for it Duffy!

What would I do with the ARMS sight that replaced the PRI?
I already have the KAC gas block/front sight and PRI sitting in the parts drawer![]()
