The gas block in the picture above is not the one I have on there now. I ordered a low profile gas block from Oly Arms. The problem I was having was that my new forend was only 1.5in diameter. It needed to be a 2in. I was going to order a new gas block from Dtech but was informed that the forend had to be atleast 2in diameter. So now I ordered a new forend and am trying to sale the other one. I was going to return it to Midwest Industries but then I was informed I have to pay a 20% restocking fee. Which 20% at $200 is $40. just to return it. Thats not including shipping. I found that to be a little crazy. I now have a Troy forend heading my way. Only problem now is I need a gunsmith that has the tools to take off my old parts and put on my new. I didnt realise that there were no gunsmiths in my area. ZERO gunsmiths. This just makes me want to go to gunsmith school even more. Its frustraiting.

[QUOTE="cmil84, post: 2493205, member: 39704"] The gas block in the picture above is not the one I have on there now. I ordered a low profile gas block from Oly Arms.
