    Yes. Recently, we had to remove a GB that we installed. Getting the red loctited screws out was EASY. Getting the GB off wasn't. I am of the opinion that I could install a GB with JUST green loctite and would have zero issues (no set screws or pinning done).

    Grant, without divulging any of your trade secrets, what was the basic method you used to get the GB to come free? Strap wrench, barrel vise, penetrating lube, and some elbow grease?

    I'm aware that a proper installation that I'm contemplating is basically marrying Clint's GB to my barrel...and I'm okay with that.

    We heat it a lot and then just work it. In some instances, you will ding the GB while removing it (FYI).

    I was thinking of using Rocksett for the gas block screws. Is this ok to do?

    Doesn't work all that well because the threads are too small. Red loctite is the best method.

    How bad is Rockset? I ask because I used it when I installed my Syrac. Try to remove at least one screw and redo with red locktite? (I dimpled the barrel before block installation.)

    Guess I could just send the barrel with the block installed to Rainier and have it pinned. BTW, the Syrac seems to work nicely on the overgassed DD 10.3" barrel with suppressor, but don't have enough rounds through it to know how it'll hold up.

    Rocksett is GTG.

    Its a precision fit gas block specifically designed to be easily pinned without a drill jig.

    A flat face and center spot positively locate the drill bit in the optimal position.

    It comes standard with those knurled screws and a spiral coil pin for extremely easy installation.

    It can also be pinned with a taper pin or a straight pin using the appropriate reamer.
    Order placed.
