Overview

Designed for AR-15 builds that call for a low-profile gas block, this Aero Precision option is intended for barrels with a .936 OD and is finished in nitride. Its compact profile supports easier fitment where space is limited, while the 4150 hardened steel construction and steel set screws reflect a straightforward, purpose-built design. The Aero logo engraving adds a clean branded touch without changing the block’s practical role in the build. A roll pin is not included, and Aero notes that non-permanent thread locker is preferred if one is used.

  • A roll pin is not included, so installation may require sourcing that part separately depending on your setup.
  • Aero notes that red thread locker is not recommended on the set screw threads; if thread locker is used, a non-permanent variety is advised.
