Pretty much. Most folks dimple the barrel and they are fine. The Giessele blocks are set up for both. These are the ones I prefer: https://algdefense.com/carbon-steel-gas-block.html ($39.99) the stainless steel is twenty bucks more: https://geissele.com/super-gas-block.html
The instruction on the links should walk you through dimpling any gas block (drill sizes may vary).
