    Any opinions or recommendations on adjustable gas blocks?

    This one is cheap
    AXC 223 5 56 Aluminum Low Profile Micro Gas Block 750 w Free Carbine Gas Tube | eBay

    Steel or aluminum?
    Set screws or clamp on?

    This is to go on a lightweight AR that I am suppressing.

    The one you have chosen is not adjustable. Don't know If I would trust it but you never know.

    This would be my pick for you:

    Q, reading about the long range prone competitions (like 600yds) for the AR15 in the USA, is there any such competition in NZ? (wellington region) Also there is a requirement for A2 iron sights I think but they can be moded to do 1/4MOA from std anybody done something like this?

    Well if you want cheap unknown off ebay why not go the whole hog, Funpowerland Tactical Micro Low Profile 0.75 Inch M4 / AR15 Low Profile Gas Block-in Hunting Gun Accessories from Sports & Entertainment on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group. Its aluminum so you could drill and tap it easily to make it adjustable.

    Not much past 100yds. Though there is supposed to be a new range on the cards.

    Some load testing yesterday,
    @Banana the CMJs did indeed to very well and at 13.5cents, think I'll order 1000 or maybe 2000, thanks for that.



    Need to try them +/- 0.2gr from 24gr 2208 to see if they do a bit better but they look perfect ie good and cheap for 100yds shooting.

    None of these are optimised btw, just 0.5gr increments to see potential, and get a feel. The barnauls, well were sucky, nuff said.

    FNB ex-mil brass, Fed205MAR primer, ADI 2208. Just an aside but higher loads shot worse, a lot worse.

    Nope @steven, you need to read your WSRA emails

    I attended a Welly Service Rifle LR shoot a couple months ago. Farm over in the Wairarapa, they go out there a couple times a year. From memory the furthest distance was just over 900yds. There were 2 ARs, one a pretty standard 308 with 3 or 4 optic, the other one bit more of a custom job.

    The proposed new (600yd?) range at Wanuiomata is off? I know about the odd long range shoot but it is not very frequent.

    I have not joined WSRA yet as I am too busy on DIYing to shoot much so ergo I dont get any emails. Also I need 2 ppl I think to sponsor me, no one I know is that insane.



    Anyway the plan at the moment is back to full time full bore FTR shooting in September.

    and do lots of 223 practice at Kaitoke, so WSRA next year I suspect.

    Wainui plan is still ticking over (slowly), speak to Wayne at Upper Hutt Gunshop for the latest.
