    My NEA is with Robbie currently, where he is making the factory gas block an adjustable one amongst other things. Not sure how much its going to cost but I'll post some photos and results when I get it back this week I think.

    You could have a go at making the block adjustable yourself if you have access to a drill press

    nzfubz, I'll be interested to see how it goes I may go down that path too, as to what Beavis suggested, The only access I have to a drill press would be through my local gunsmith.

    Be curious to see what sort of price he would charge changing the factory GB to an adj one

    Any engineer could do it.

    Drill hole, thread, insert grubscrew, find correct setting then put some threadlocker in it.

    Never done one but there can't be much more to it than that. Could even get away with a standard drill if you're careful enough.

    If the gun has a thumbhole stock then it will be a rifle length buffer. If this is the case an adjustable gas block might be best option.

    It the Spear Mags stock, so from what you're saying Digit, the Spikes tactical ST-2 buffer won't work in my AR cos it a rifle length buffer tube??

    Also a carbine buffer in said rifle tube will result in a beat up buffer tower.

    You're SOL mate. Adjustable it is. Seriously though I run an H3 in one of my carbines and it really makes fuck all difference.

    The T2 buffer is lighter than a rifle buffer anyway.
