Anyways Installed I yesterday, I had to cut off the old gas block, (I shoot this rifle almost everyday)had some major cleaning of carbon deposits off the barrel and bird cage. This gas block was the perfect tightness l, it took a tap of a plastic hammer to get it in place but was easily removed with a light tap of the mallet. The nitride treatment seems well done and very slick, there are a couple of machining marks on her but nothing alarming. The click stops are nice and crisp and it even came with a spare detent in case you lose the original. Will test it out and adjust it this afternoon after work.Hey Texcl2, would you (or anyone else?) mind measuring the thickness of your Aero GB a the very bottom? i.e. the thickness at the 6 o'clock position? I'd like to know if it'll fit in my Centurion Arms Handguard.
Pardon the dark pictures.

For comparison, I tried a spare Troy low-pro gas block in my handguard. Thickness at the bottom is 0.21" give or take. It's just barely thin enough to provide a margin of error. I have a BCM GB, which is about 0.20" thick at the bottom. If the Aero adjustable is in that ballpark, that should be good for me.
