AR-15 Gas Blocks

Adjustable, Low-Profile, Clamp-On & Set Screw Designs for Every Build


Fine-Tune Your AR-15 with the Right Gas Block

Your AR-15’s gas block plays a vital role in its cycling, recoil, and reliability. Whether you're building a precision rifle, tuning a suppressed SBR, or replacing a worn-out part, the right gas block makes all the difference. At Mounts Plus, we carry a full selection of AR-15 gas blocks including:

  • Adjustable gas blocks – ideal for suppressors or recoil tuning

  • Low-profile gas blocks – perfect for free-float handguards

  • Clamp-on or set screw models – easy to install and rock solid

  • ✅ Options for all barrel diameters: .625", .750", .875", .936"


🔍 What Type of Gas Block Do You Need?

Type Best For Benefits
Adjustable Suppressed rifles, precision builds Tweak gas flow for reduced recoil, fouling
Low-Profile Free-float handguards Lightweight, compact, rail-compatible
Clamp-On Lightweight barrels, no dimples Non-marring, distributes stress evenly
Set Screw Most factory barrels with dimples Secure, simple, widely compatible

Match Your Barrel Diameter

Choosing the correct gas block diameter ensures proper alignment and reliable cycling. We carry gas blocks for:

  • .625" barrels – pencil-profile or lightweight builds

  • .750" barrels – standard government/mid-weight profile

  • .875" barrels – heavy profile barrels

  • .936" barrels – bull barrels / long-range setups

Always measure the gas journal or refer to your barrel specs before purchasing.

Why Choose an Adjustable Gas Block?

If you're running a suppressor, dealing with overgassing, or want to reduce recoil, an adjustable gas block lets you control gas flow — improving function, longevity, and shootability. They're especially useful for:

  • Suppressed builds

  • Softening recoil

  • Tuning bolt velocity

  • Reducing fouling in the chamber


Installation Types

  • Set Screw – Insert over the gas journal and lock with screws

  • Clamp-On – Tightens around the barrel; ideal for thin barrels

  • Pin-On – For military-style or pinned setups (less common in DIY builds)

💡 Pro tip: Use thread locker and properly torque the screws. Consider dimpling the barrel for secure fitment if using a set screw block.


AR-15 Gas Block vs Front Sight Base

  • Gas Block – Minimal profile, fits under free-float rails, modern look

  • Front Sight Base (FSB) – Integrated iron sight/gas block, older A2-style builds


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What size gas block do I need for a .750 barrel?
A: You need a .750" gas block for that diameter. Always match the block size to your barrel’s gas journal.

Q: What does an adjustable gas block do?
A: It lets you control the amount of gas that reaches the BCG, allowing you to tune recoil, cycle rate, and suppressor backpressure.

Q: Should I use clamp-on or set screw gas blocks?
A: Use set screw if your barrel is dimpled. Use clamp-on for lightweight barrels or when you don’t want to mark the barrel.

Q: Can I use a gas block under any free-float handguard?
A: Yes, low-profile gas blocks are specifically made to fit under free-float rails.
