Overview
This low-profile gas block is designed for AR-15 builds where a compact fit is needed under handguards or in other tight setups. It is sized for .875 OD barrels and features Aero Precision branding with a nitride finish. The block is constructed from 4150 hardened steel and uses steel 10-32 x 3/16 knurled cup point set screws for installation. A roll pin is not included, and Aero Precision notes that non-permanent thread locker is preferred if one is used.

Considerations & Trade-offs

- Thread locker guidance is specific: red thread locker is not recommended on the set screw threads; a non-permanent variety is advised if used.
- This model is sized for .875" barrels, so compatibility is limited to that barrel diameter.
