AR-15 handguard/gas block help ??

[JWilliscroft]

Does anyone know of a low profile gas block, that will mount under my Daniel Defense Omega X-Rail 12.0 ?? My barrel is 18" long, but has a carbine length gas tube. I ordered a Badger Ordinance MK12 low profile, but the bottom is a little to wide. If I can't come up with an alternative, I guess I'm goimg to have to machine this one down a little. Any help will be greatly appreciated !!

Actually, S&J hardware just came out with one that will suit your need. Available from SFRC for sure, possible OST too

I confirmed with S&J Hardware & they tell me that theirs & Daniel Defense are the only ones low enough to work. I now have one on order !! Thank you for your help !!

Yea you could just get the Daniel Defense low profile gas block.... I mean, if your running DD rails, may as well get the matching gas block to go with it, that way you should have less issues... IMO at least

I would of course prefer a low profile clamp style Daniel Defense gas block, but do not know of anyone who has a .750" dia in stock. If anyone does, don't be afraid to speak up !!
