Adjustable Gas Block - Need Recommendations

[montana]

Thank you.



I had not heard of this one previously (I'm new to adjustable gas blocks) but am looking into it. It's very interesting. I just need to figure out if it will work with what I'm trying to do.



I currently run a few different 123 grain bullets on top of CFE 223, but they are all basically the same load. And I run one of them way more than the others, so I think of myself as only really shooting one load in my current Grendel. I am hoping the new barrel will like similar loads as the old barrel, though I'll of course have to do some load work up. I plan to find loads for 123 match bullets and SSTs, barrel willing, and just shoot those for the most part. However, I do plan to switch back and forth between suppressed and not suppressed. One of the matches I shoot with my Grendel doesn't allow suppressors or muzzle brakes (only flash hiders). The other match allows suppressors, and I've grown fond of shooting suppressed whenever possible with my bolt guns when hunting or just shooting at the range. I'd like to think that will extend to this build.

Question: what about the superlative makes it better than some others for more frequent changes? I can see with the riflespeed you just turn it. But why would the superlative be better than, for example, the Aero or SLR (or is it)? Thank you!

Superlative adj gas blocks are kind of a hybrid between a restrictive and bleed off system..

When the adjuster is screwed in all the way, it is suppose to block the gas port completely..When unscrewing the adjuster plunger, it will begin to open the port to allow more gas like any other restrictive type adj gas block..When opening the adjuster approx 4 1/2 turns (18 clicks) the port will be opened all the way for maximum gas pressure to the operating systrem..When continuing to unscrew the adjuster screw, it will begin to open the blow out bore (the wall is shared with the adjustment screw) the gas will begin to blow out the front of gas block reducing gas to the operating system and it becomes a bleed off type adj gas block..

I never cared for them but many swear by them. I have seen a lot of people get frustrated with this adj gas block because they didn't understand how it works and failed to adjust properly..

Remember, any adj gas block will leak more gas than a standard gas block. If a rifle is running on the edge of being under gassed, the last thing that is needed is an adj gas block..
