Re: Adjustable gas block under handguard?
I know for a fact that a older style JPGS-5 wont fit under a Wilson Trim rail, its just a little too tight. I think the newer style is a bit smaller but if the rail is just barely going to cover the gas block then check out the new JP JPGS-SO with the adjustment screw of the front.

Currently, I have the DPMS supplied handguards. My carbine has a mid length DMPS rail with the mid length gas tube. I was considering using some kind of low profile adjustable gas block under a rifle length handguard...would like to use something smaller in OD like the JT or otherwise.
I would like the adjustability of the gas block for running suppressed with subsonic ammo. I'd like the longer rail for more protection and having a longer distance between rail mounted sights.

Oh, thanks! I had seen that block via Syrac site, but I didn't know JP was cooperating. Might be a solution for the carbine.

Another thanks... Had done some looking, and I didn't find the PRI adjustable blocks with my search engines.
I had thought about making a cut in a handguard, but I was hoping that this might have been thought through by some manufacturers...thus a slot or something. Sounds like YMMV...
