As someone who is into a lot of different hobbies and sports, it has always been shocking to me how slow and almost pathetic the aftermarket and accessory market for guns is compared to other high technology hobbies like motorcycling, computing, audio equipment/music production, aircraft piloting, etc Like it’s insane how expensive and how little offerings there are for things in the firearms industry, considering how enormous of a market it is. So it’s really is good to finally be seeing in the last few years, all these different manufactures and groups and people like this who are taking what should be verystraightforward and basic things that should be on rifles these days and finally making them readily available to the public for a somewhat reasonable price.
I mean, what is your argument? Accessories follow market share. Unequivocally. Up until about 2004-2007 the firearms industry was pretty slow and steady. Suddenly the AR is back after the assault weapons ban, and the internet and UA-cam arrives. Sales begin increasing. From 2004 to the early/mid 2010’s there was a 300% increase in sales, and that has only increased, with a peak in 2020. So it’s really only been in the last 10-15 years that we have seen a more intense interest in firearms and their gucci accessories. You also have regulatory changes or process changes. ATF e-forms a while back made it a lot easier to buy suppressors, now they’re even faster. That leads to increased interest in suppressor technology and gas regulation, like this product. Someone will ALWAYS try and make it if there is money to be had. So I don’t think there is anything pathetic, I think we’re just seeing the accessories come as the demand arrives.
Not sure why you are asking this question. The use case was mentioned in the video. I adjust mine when I go from unsuppressed to suppressed. The gentleman in the video adjusts his based on climate. Weather makes the DI system cycle differently, hence the need for adjustment.
Am I understanding this system is for people with one rifle who operate in 100+ and subzero temp environments? I really like it but I’m not sure I need it..
It's also useful for people who use ammo of widely different power levels, such as with .300 Blackout. You can tune so that at the maximum setting you can cycle subsonic ammo, then turn to a lower gas setting so that you can use supersonic ammo without battering your gun due to severe over-gassing. In less extreme cases it can help tune the gas system both for lower powered practice loads and full powered defensive or hunting rounds. People who use suppressors part time also can benefit, since they can compensate for increased backpressure by setting the gas system to a lower setting, then turn it back up when shooting unsuppressed. And for people who do a LOT of shooting between cleanings or in very dirty conditions, it allows for turning the gas system to help compensate for fouling by adding more gas if reliability starts to suffer. You could always just deal with a bit or potentially a lot of over-gassing instead of using an adjustable gas block, but then in addition to more gas in the face you'll get increased felt recoil and parts wear since the bolt group is slamming back and forth more aggressively in the gun. If you haven't noticed a problem up to this point, then you probably don't need the adjustable gas system. But if any of any of the above situations apply to you and you want your gun to work without having to have it constantly over-gassed, an adjustable gas block could make a big difference.
He didn’t say 100+ he said 70. There are plenty of places all over the world that get very cold in the late PM and early AM but are hot during the day. I’ve had it happen plenty of times where the gun works great during the day but when I pick it up in the morning it’s no longer reliable.
Saw this at Guncon Looks like a great product want to give it a try Got to meet Martin from rifle speed great guy looking forward to giving this product a try thank you for the innovation
If you aren't already using an adjustable GB, it would help reduce the bolt velocity after you tune it perhaps. I'd recommend you get a heavy JPSCS (silent capture spring) to replace your buffer. I've heard people say getting a nicer trigger like a Geissele will help reduce felt recoil but that sounds like snake oil to me.
@@JenkinsStevenD I tend to like lighter profile barrels, and have had noticeable accuracy degradation when using set screw gas blocks on LW profile barrels due to the pressure points they cause in the gas journal area. Criterion doesnt typically recomend set screw blocks for this reason. I also trust clamp ons to be more secure. VLTOR had done a test that proved it was more secure than a set screw method too! Clamp on also provides a tighter gas seal. These things are typically not a huge deal to most shooters but Im OCD! Haha
I'm like you but if I slapped them on every AR I'd blow about an extra $1100 on gas systems!! 10x(200-90)=1100 With 90 being the cost of my superlative arms GBs.
Awesome product, but not worth 2-3x the price of other adjustable gas blocks just to avoid an allen wrench. Would buy in a heartbeat at around $100-120

The price was a flat-out lie. The system REQUIRES a proprietary gas tube that does NOT come in the kit. That is an additional cost. $15 additional last I checked. Not a lot, but at least be honest in your statement if you're going to state the price.
The gas tube is not proprietary. It just requires a strait tube. Many companies make them and any strait gas tube of the appropriate system length will work.
@@TheSugarWeasel93 it better be at that price point. it's not a bleeder is it? pobably will carbon up. At least that's what I've read about bleeders vs blockers
@laxwyo1 bleeders are a gimmick imo. It doesn't make the gun run any cleaner than a restriction type block. And due to its construction it won't carbon up since the threads aren't exposed to carbon. I have one that has nearly 3k through it and it's still adjustable by hand, never cleaned.
Unfortunately they don't have a bleed setting, only a restriction one. Sort of defeats the point, when suppressed shooting is the point of these things.
@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz that's not how a gas system works. Gas exits at the gas port, that energy is used to cycle the action. However, a suppressor creates back-pressure after the gas port. A vented block like the Superlative vents the gasses at the gas block, they are vented before they ever reach the suppressor. The trade-off is less signature reduction, but much less gassing of the shooter. Flow through suppressors accomplish the same thing, but the gasses are vented via the suppressor rather than the gas block.
@@6tuf85dyfu gas is tapped off at the gas port, pressure still remains so long as the bullet hasnt uncorked from the barrel. The result of both is the same, a bolt velocity and unlock time more closely matching an unsuppressed weapon for less recoil, gas, and port noise. All a venting block does is lessen the port noise a bit more. Theres only so much gas you can vent before the gun doesn't work, they dont make that much of a difference.
I have both and would choose the rifle speed over another superlative block. I have two superlative blocks and I'm not that impressed especially suppressed. Shooting the superlative suppressed at night is atrocious and just makes the gas clouds worse too.

@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz that's not how a gas system works. Gas exits at the gas port, that energy is used to cycle the action. However, a suppressor creates back-pressure after the gas port.
A vented block like the Superlative vents the gasses at the gas block, they are vented before they ever reach the suppressor. The trade-off is less signature reduction, but much less gassing of the shooter.
Flow through suppressors accomplish the same thing, but the gasses are vented via the suppressor rather than the gas block.
@@6tuf85dyfu gas is tapped off at the gas port, pressure still remains so long as the bullet hasnt uncorked from the barrel.
The result of both is the same, a bolt velocity and unlock time more closely matching an unsuppressed weapon for less recoil, gas, and port noise. All a venting block does is lessen the port noise a bit more. Theres only so much gas you can vent before the gun doesn't work, they dont make that much of a difference.
I have both and would choose the rifle speed over another superlative block. I have two superlative blocks and I'm not that impressed especially suppressed. Shooting the superlative suppressed at night is atrocious and just makes the gas clouds worse too.

No bayonet lug , no care ....:)
Did a ghost from WW1 post this?
overrated gas block lol, it's like bootleg bcg all over again
2 products that work very well.
How is it over rated?? It is duty grade and can be customized and tuned without a tool..
If it isn't for you, it isn't for you😂
Why is it overrated? The level you can fine tune your gas setting is solid
