    Check out the gas blocks here: www.seekinsprecision.com/prod...
    The Seekins Precision Low Profile Adjustable Gas Block lets you to fine tune your rifle's gas system for smoother cycling and operation. Regulating the amount of gas used to cycle the action allows tuning the rifle’s operation to a specific load and the use of low mass bolt carriers, buffers and springs to reduce felt recoil. This is critical to allow faster follow up shots, target acquisition and reliability.

    Great video Seekins. I’ll be tuning my low profile adjustable this weekend. Much appreciated.

    Awesome vid! I was always told that you should keep closing the gas off until it won’t lock back, and then try a quarter turn open and make sure you can cycle a full mag thru with a lock back on the last round. Never heard of the 3:00 to 5 o’clock trajectory before but it makes sense.

    So, the adjustment screw is not accessible thru my hand guard. Neither do I have a bullet trap (as shown in the video). Seem the only option is to remove the hand guard, go to a range, shoot in the GENERAL direction of the backstop until I get the setting correct. Then go home and reassemble the hand guard. Then go back to the range and (re)zero the rifle. Do I have this about right?

    If I’m going to put a suppressor on this unit do I test it and set the gas block with suppressor installed or put it in after gas block is set?

    Do you recommend using a little bit of Loctite on the jam screw or set screws to avoid them backing out over many rounds?

    • @heatseekins
      @heatseekins  3 роки тому +3

      We do not. Even Red locktite will come loose because of how hot the gas block gets with normal use. A good snugging on the jam screw should do the trick. As for the set screws underneath the block, the 5nm tightness has yet to come loose on any of my personal builds, but it doesn't hurt to stake those if you're worried about it.

      @@YukarisGearReviews Depending on your handguard, the gas key screw may or may not be accessible The Locking screw is on the front, Gas Key screw on the side. Sorry for the confusion! A Lot of handguards do have spacing that allows access to both screws.

    Good video. Just a bit annoying with all the overly safety related stuff. I think anyone looking into an item like this is a gun enthusiast and aware of handling a firearm. A simple disclosure at the beginning would suffice.

    • @heatseekins

      You might be surprised. This video is geared towards all levels of experience. If you know, you know, and can zone out on the safety stuff, but if you're like the 7 Million+ new gun owners over the last year, you may find the information helpful. Let's remember we made this video for more people than just you and you're extensive knowledge. Thanks for watching! 😊

      The entire point is to drill this into your head to where it is second nature. If you’re following along with the same checks, it shouldn’t be annoying. If it’s annoying, you might be skipping it…

    The screws you talk about are set screws and require a "hex" wrench.. an Allen wrench is a brand.. There is no such thing as "roll" pin.. This is a "spring" pin. It uses the "spring" of the roll formed steel to stay in place..

      roll pin is a thing. What are you on about?

    • @TommyTombstone
      @TommyTombstone 2 роки тому

      These are the commonly accepted terms used to describe these parts. "Allen key" is as synonymous with "hex key" as "Kleenex" is with "paper face tissue."
      Further, if you called the pin in question a "spring pin," very few people who build ARs would know what you're talking about. So it doesn't serve you to be upset about it.
