Well technically he does not post on the forums but you know him. UW says he's scared to post here. But you can ridicule him on FB. He goes by CT50......
And it makes the rifle a single shot weapon.

Alright, got the gas block back off. Little bit of quick heat and tapping with a brass hammer got it right off with no issues. Gas block looks like shit, barrel is fine. Just going to order the Rainier Arms gas block.

Wait. I'm confused. I'm pro-pinning, and think it should be done if you can, but for a 500 round/year gun that sits in a cabinet the rest of the time, meh. You're pro-pinning because you have the ability to make it happen as a 'smith. Seems like we're in violent agreement.

This is really why I'm a big fan of recreational shooters buying Colt 6920s or other similar FSB guns. 500 is probably on the high side. I bet most of those recreational shooters go years without firing their guns.
Anyhow, I see both sides, if I had 2 or 3 rifles, they'd all get pinned GB's, if you have dozens with some being pure range guns, then I can see not pinning them.
But in principle we all agree.

What I've gotten from this thread so far: rainier arms gas blocks fit Rainier arms barrels. Dang. They need that in their descriptions.
I recently got a 7.5" Ranier barrel and I slid my superlative arms block partly on after heating the block and freezing the barrel. Now it won't budge. You would think it's welded on. Sending to a gunsmith to remedy with tools I don't have.

Meaning the mentality of cutting corners during a build based on "intended use". If someone lacks the ability I think they should pay someone. I've either seen first hand or photos of every technique used to secure a gas block fail with the exception of the proper way. Pinning. I have not bought a assembled AR in a long time but I would not look twice at ANY weapon without a pinned block.
And I am far from a gunsmith. LOL That's an insult to the real ones, although they get fewer and fewer every day.

LMFAO I hope you know it's all in fun.
