Most modern semi-automatic sporting rifles (AR-10 and AR-15 rifles) come from the factory over-gassed and the shooter's experience is generally not that enjoyable. Excessive gas blowback (with or without the use of a suppressor), extraction issues, ejection issues, inconsistent accuracy and prolonged shot follow-up times are all problems that can be caused by an over-gassed rifle.



One of the best and most inexpensive ways to eliminate a runaway rifle is to utilize an adjustable gas block. There are a couple different ways that an adjustable gas block works but the general principle is that the gas going back through the action of the rifle is restricted or bled off to a level that will allow the rifle to function reliably.Wojtek Weaponry offers two brands of gas blocks that will help alleviate dysfunctional rifles. The first is Wojtek Weaponry's clamp or set screw adjustable gas blocks which operate by "choking the gashole." The other brand is Odinworks, one of the best providers of gas blocks. They operate on the same principle (choking the gashole) but have the added benefit of being click adjustable.If you need some help selecting a gas block or have any other questions, please email me at [email protected]
