AR-10? Preferably with the picatinny rail to take a front sight?

I am really not a fan of adjustable gas blocks

I really only see the purpose for them when you are using a suppressor. If i was going to get one tho I would find one with a lever that has 2 or 3 settings and not the allen screw models. I've seen the screws back out and stop a gun from working. I would also stay away from the gas blocks with rails on them having things attached to your gas block is not really the best idea unless it's pinned in place and most of those are just factory designs. Get a standard low profile gas block and a free float handguard and run your sights on the handguard. You will get better results.

Great information! Many thanks, makes the decision easy

getting a lot of blow-back in his face. I found a "helical" one piece gas ring for the bolt head. This stoppped it. It was only like $10. FWIW. You started it on the bolt and spun it on like a key on a keyring.

Like this? Kase, your thoughts?

With gas blow-by around his AR bolt seal rings. This was exaggerated by his suppressor use.
