    Default **Product Request

    I would like to formally request Wilson to make a "Folding Front Sight/Adjustable Gas Block"

    This but with adjustable gas screw.
    http://

    Currently this feature seems to be limited to piston AR's. I think it would be a great product and I am sure I am not the only person this would appeal to. Adjustable gas is getting more and more popular, Wilson should lead the way with the first DI adjustable gas folding front sight.

    I will gladly buy the first two!

    If we get some cheap plinking ammo, I think we would need a adjustable gas block for when we switch between low powered plinkers and higher powered hunting ammo. Makes sense to me, +5. Oh and Ill take one also!

    However has a nice gas block can produce the same tapped for the purpose or with very little modification during cutting. I like the idea although I am all set in terms of adjustable gas blocks.
    I however want to develop a quick adjust but a bit more versatile and robust than the noveske one. At the same time stay away from set screws and do it with the clamp method that not
    only provides a better seal regardless the tolerances but reduces small high pressure points in a barrel. Whatever I can do to maximize function and accuracy potential.
    It seems noveske finally realized the mistake of set screw gas blocks.





    Tell me what other design mistake you see in this design besides the original setscrew that has been replaced?

    One mistake is they didn't "design" it onto my rifle. Hahaha

    Do tell. The switchblock is pretty well regarded. I would hesitate to call it an adjustable block though, more of selectable. It has 3 settings with predetermined gas flow (off, normal, suppressed) and won't account for minute variations between ammo or rifle.

    It is too tall. No option to go low profile with extended tubes.
    You are right it is 3 position adjustable with 'coarse' settings just like the adams piston.

    What other issues do we see, anyone?
