Does any company make a blank sleeve to use in place of the gas block.

[Goochylogic]

Looking to use a blank sleeve in place of the gas block to change from a semi-auto to a bolt/manual operated system. I have a conversation regarding the Kali-key ongoing. I?ve searched the net and have not seen a non functioning gas block or sleeve. Just wondering if anyone knows of a company makes such a device. Thanks Chuck

I can't imagine someone making a non-functional gas block but you might find some sleeve at a hardware store?
You could get a machinist to make one for you but it might be more than you want to pay.
Find the cheapest gas block you can and spin it 180 degrees.

I think there was a guy here or I saw somewhere that turned his gas block 180 degrees and blocked the port.

The first one i ever installed was non-functioning! LOL

You could spin it 180 or drive a solid pin in the hole for the gas tube

Thanks for the reply's. I was looking to see if there was a commercially made sleeve/block that would take the place of a functioning gas block. I know all I would have to do is either turn it a little off center or reverse it on the shoulder. It was a long shot. Ricsmall can fabricate one which may be what I do if the socialist ban the ar platform here in Virginia. Many thanks to him for offering his services.

What about just using an adjustable and cranking it all the way closed. Remove the gas tube just to prove the point that it won't cycle no matter what.

I feel for Virginia, born and raised here and this latest blow may be the downturn of the state. NOVA has ruined this state.

My company has options in other states and for the first time in 20 yrs I am considering some of them.

It takes a lot of effort to pull back the BCG when there is no gas. The system needs at least some gas for primary unlocking. Probably the easiest way to demonstrate this is as Cereal is saying, remove your gas tube while leaving the gas block in place. Fire a shot and see how sticky the BCG becomes. It's not much fun doing this more than a couple of times.

Never tried this. Do steel cases stick more or less than brass in this scenario?

[Klem]

Don't know but I imagine it will be the same.

Which direction does the bolt rotate when unlocking? I'm having some trouble visualizing it.

[phishfood]

Clockwise. Think about the direction of the cam pin track.

Rotates to the port side...
