Adjustable Gas Blocks

[JSF]

I ordered a GAP10 and sent an adjustable gas block to be installed. I plan on shooting both suppressed and unsuppressed. My question is, do most of you adjust it for both or do you adjust it for unsuppressed and leave it there?

No experience with an adjustable gas block.

Re: Adjustable Gas Blocks

when you shoot suppressed you will need to turn down the gas a bit.

Thanks for the reply. That is what I thought, but it seems like a lot of people put loctite on the adjustment screw. I guess they don't shoot suppressed.

Or you can use loctite, maybe the blue or green variety if you're not switching back and forth often.

My state recently passed laws that allowed owners of suppressors to actually use them (the socialist state of Washington) I've spent thousands this past year on firearms, all gun running past the wife - I will have to figure out how to snoop and ppop this past her.

Re: Adjustable Gas Blocks

watch where the brass lands....when it lands about 4 feet away at 3 o'clock its about right. IMHO...what brand gas block did you get? with the PRI you wont be able to turn the gas off all the way. so you cant make it like a bolt gun. but you can definitely feel the impulse change....

Re: Adjustable Gas Blocks

I bought the PRI. I don't want to make it like a bolt gun. I just figured I would have to adjust the gas down when shooting suppressed.
