    What is everyone's thoughts on these DD clamp on blocks? They cover up the holes left from the origional FSB, and BCM reccomended them in another email they sent me. Has anybody used one and know that they stay put?
    The time required to properly remove the DD as described by BCM was enough to convince me. I would go for it.

    The 20 minute pain of a process they described was in reference to removing set screw gas blocks with dimples in the barrel, I believe. I like the Idea of the DD, I just want to know if it will stay put.

    Screws can back out caused by vibration... even with loc tite. I've heard green rocksett is good stuff, but I prefer pinning. It's sure to stay and easy to take something pinned on and off. I say pin.

    A good clamp-on gas block like the DD will be fine. You'll break the index pin of the barrel before you make the gas block move.

    Add to that the different rates different metals expand and contract as the gun heats up and cools down between firing. Plus I have heard of well-made and installed gas blocks that have rotated with use. YMMV.

    You shoot enough it will move,

    I have never liked the set screw type. I went Prarie Dog "shooting" one time, we shot like 2000 rounds in one day per person all of the ARs(3) failed that day due to the gas block moving. Im sure it was because of the installation, but that my point. Pinned is Pinned kind of hard to screw that up.

    I had to shoot a 22-250 and 243 bolt guns and trust me while those rounds seem lite they still wear on you after 2000-3000 rounds.

    Holy deal that is a lot of shooting. Out of 6,000 rounds how many did you kill?

    Strip the barrel out of the upper and send it to someone to have a low pro gasblock pinned on. Do it once, do it right then you can forget about it and shoot.

    We brought 5000 rounds total not counting .22LR, I have never seen a infestation like that before or since. I know it was over 1000. Were were taking crazy 700-800 meter or more shots, 2 people.

    3 AR bull barrels RRA barrels if i remember right. 3000 rounds 1 gun ran till the beginning of the last day.
    2 Remington 22-250 VS 1000 rounds
    1 Cooper M22 .234 1000 rounds (this was the long range gun)

    We went back 4 months later to get yotes in the same area we got 6not bad. This place no longer has a infestation so we don't go there anymore.
