block
A block of the periodic table of elements is a set of adjacent groups. The term appears to have been first used by Charles Janet. The respective highest-energy electrons in each element in a block belong to the same atomic orbital type. Each block is named after its characteristic orbital; thus, the blocks are:
s-block
p-block
d-block
f-block
g-block (hypothetical)
The block names (s, p, d, f and g) are derived from the spectroscopic notation for the associated atomic orbitals: sharp, principal, diffuse and fundamental, and then g which follows f in the alphabet.
The following is the order for filling the "subshell" orbitals, according to the Aufbau principle, which also gives the linear order of the "blocks" (as atomic number increases) in the periodic table:
1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d, 6p, 7s, 5f, 6d, 7p, ...
For discussion of the nature of why the energies of the blocks naturally appear in this order in complex atoms, see atomic orbital and electron configuration.
The "periodic" nature of the filling of orbitals, as well as emergence of the s, p, d and f "blocks" is more obvious, if this order of filling is given in matrix form, with increasing principal quantum numbers starting the new rows ("periods") in the matrix. Then, each subshell (composed of the first two quantum numbers) is repeated as many times as required for each pair of electrons it may contain. The result is a compressed periodic table, with each entry representing two successive elements:
Heavy-duty blocks allow you to firmly clamp AR-15/M16 receiver halves in a vise without risk of crushing, twisting, or otherwise distorting them when applying vise pressure or torquing the barrel nut. High pressure, solvent resistant, structural Rynite block and insert surround the entire upper...
The 2A Arms lightweight regulated bolt carrier comes with a nice quality T6 Driver for adjustment. $270 Decided to keep
VSeven Titanium Firing pin. $20 SOLD
I also have a 2A Arms .625 Titanium Gas block that ill sell for $50 or add to the to the sale of the BCG for $30. SOLD
This has been a long haul. Mainly because of stumbling blocks along the way with a cracked receiver, and bad parts. But after almost two years of fooling around, I just finished assembling my Remington Rolling Block Sporting Rifle!
It is made up of various genuine Remington parts from over 100...
Good morning,
On the hunt for upper/lower vice block for AR platform. Figured I’d look on here before buying brand new. Located in the Seattle area but willing to pay for shipping! Thanks for your time.

Geiselle SSA trigger
Geiselle Airborne Charging Handle
Lower is almost new, Upper is unfired
Can include Vortex scope and Surefire m600 for additional cost
No trades/will not part...
I'm new to the reloading game but my good friend and reloading mentor gifted me a well used and cared for old yellow Flambeau Twin-60 universal cartridge holder. Well I fell in love with it and now it's the only thing I want to use.
If you have any of these old used Flambeau Twin-60 trays lying...
I know there's a wealth of knowledge on this board so here goes:
I recently sent my Bulgarian Arsenal off to get some custom work done and I noticed something I thought peculiar on the front end. The Ultimak rail fits completely snug around the Bolton gas block. Having installed an Ultimak...
They're not even trying to hide their disdain any more...they're throwing so much at the law-abiding gun owner community, spreading resources thin...nice being persecuted by our own tax dollars.

This will effect EVERY law abiding gun owner in WA... Fudds...
SLR Sentry 9 .936 Adjustable Gas Block w/.400 in. Set Screw Spacing
First pic has the factory info. Low round count on it. No longer need it on my setup and wanted a slim handguard so I went back to a standard low pro gas block. This is a low profile gas block but due to a bull barrel, and the...
This is one of the newer ones with the smaller roll pin size and slightly smaller overall size. Still .750 over the journal, so no issues with fitting your barrel. I just received it from Geissele last week.
SOLD
9MM AR Barrel with Front Sight “gas block” Government Profile $140
If you want to build AR 9mm with a front sight “gas block” you don’t have many choices. To get the CMMG assembly I am offering it is typically $259. I am willing to include the handguards as well if you need them. There is a...
Both are lightly used. Great condition
TRADES:
-Quality nickel boron or black nitride BCG. NO PHOSPHATE please. Think toolcraft or higher
-H Buffer and carbine spring
Raptor $40
Gas block $15
