    Suppressors Large Diameter Adjustable Gas Blocks

    I ran myself into a corner on an AR build. I wanted a 24" match upper and got one. I thought I could get a Noveske SwitchBlock and everything would be golden. I hit a snag when I realized The Noveske SB is intended for .750" barrels; my upper is .950". I do not want to run an overgassed gun...
