I appreciate it, Clint. But with some sand paper, a glass of whiskey on the rocks, and some patience, I got the interior of this block fitting perfectly. I basically just had to remove most of the finish in the bore of the block for it to fit....so, not that much material.
I'm okay with a little fitting. I'd rather it be too snug than too loose. I was able to sand until it slid on, but there was still some force required (not quite a press fit...but close).

Agreed. It's definitely saved in my bookmarks.
I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. Nice, big dimples. Gonna be rock solid. I did skip the cold blue because my give-a-shit bone was broken at that point. Nobody is gonna see it.

Just to test how well a field expedient install would go, i did just that.
A hand drill and patience equals a super easy install. The drill bit that is included with the kit is actually of decent quality and is very stiff. Didn't flex at all.
The roll pin is also sized perfectly in relation to the drill bit. Roll pin required a hammer, but went in relatively easily once the hammer was used. A strong, secure fit.
You simply can't beat the price, folks. The gas block itself is a steal at this price. I'm very pleased.

I too recently bought a Black River Tactical gas block, and agree the block is nice. Under priced for the quality.
Just last night green and red loc tite-ed my new gas block. For the Holidays of course. Don't have access to a drill press just yet, so not pinned.
Off topic->
My group size shrunk a bit. Just using LC M193, my 5 shot strings were a bit under 2". A few much better than 2"
Was over 2 1/2" yesterday before I glued the block...
I opted not to do the green loctite between the block and barrel. But, I did use the Red 272 equivalent (Permatex Red High temp), which is the 450 degree flavor. Std red loctite is only rated to 300 degrees. IG has stated he's used the std 271 (300 degree) formula without issue, so YMMV.

Hot knife through butter. It just powered through the gas block and perfectly clipped the bottom of the barrel. It was still sharp to the touch after I was done with everything. I'm keeping the bit for a rainy day. It's clearly not a cheapy.
EDIT: I'll add that the McMaster-Carr knurled cup-tip set screws are a nice touch as well. They really dig into the barrel dimples HARD. I'm very pleased.
This is one of the best gas blocks for the price WITHOUT the first quality drill bit, pin-starter dimple on the GB body, and roll-pin.
