It takes some research/coordination but a can looks nice when it can tuck inside the handguard.

That would be cool. If I did that then I would have to stick with a threaded application. Since my first suppressor will be going between a couple different rifles.

I'm assuming that's a threaded application in the pic.
It just tucks into the handguard a bit for a clean look.

The Wilson I'm working on (for example) would have the can outboard of the rail a small amount and their can has a larger OD than their handguard.
Not as clean of a look as the one in the pic.

I agree it is a sweet clean look.

I have railed and smooth Gas Blocks, the biggest thing I have discovered, is the railed gas blocks could have a different rail height than the upper receiver's rail height. So a higher base on the front sight might be necessary to get proper sight alignment. Another thing do not use polymer sights on a gas block, they can melt there bases and spoil your zero. Metal sights are usually heavier and more expensive.

They make front sights meant for gas blocks because of this.

Yes I own some Diamondhead's for a AR-10 and a AR-15 with the raised metal base.

Would be nice if they were easier to find through google. Apparently googles thinks all AR front sights are the same.

GOOGLE isn't that smart!

 

[Boboclown]

Googles (what search engine isn't like google anyways?) thinks it is.

Be lucky that a porn site doesn't pop up when you type AR into google.

Oh boy do I have some NSFW gifs for that.

If you ever find yourself wanting one of these, ask a friend or family member for help.

What? The gas block is the best place to put all your tactical lasers and flashlights, don't forget the bipod too.

@Mygrainman heads up brother ballistic advantage has those barrels back in stock!

I ordered another 80% lower with a parts kit. I do not know what I will do with it.

There was one in the classifieds this AM... did you get it?
I went with a BA Hansen profile that I found for $100 on an infirior loclally based gun forum..
I couldn't pass it up. I have the same profile in my BO pistol and love it. We'll see.
