Low Profile Gas Block - Will it fit?

[Tactical30]

Im currently building another 6.5 Grendel (AR-platfrom)

I am going to go with the 24" Sabre Defense Barrel (Target Crown, Rifle Gas, M4 Ramps, Bolt included, 1-9 Twist, .936" Gas Block dia., 24" Length, Fluted)

My question is:
The Sabre Barrel has a .936" Gas block diameter and Im going with the Larue 13.2" FF Handguard and the PRI Low Profile .936" Gas block.

Im wondering if this gas block will fit under the Larue Handguard. If not I will just go with the 12.0" Larue but I would like to tuck the GB under the handgaurd.

The other 5 AR-platform build I have done, I used either the Vltor or DD low profile gas block and they worked perfect but all those were on .750 GB Dia.

I've tried the adjustable, but didn't work under the larue. Is the block the same outer dimensions as the .75 block? If so it should work without a problem.

I've got roughly the same setup, but different brands. I used the PRI (.936) low profile gas block on my DPMS LR308 with the Daniel Defense handguard. It fits on there perfectly. It was a bit snug going in but I just lubed it generously with gun oil and tapped it in lightly with a block of wood and a hammer.

Will need to get one of these to put some divots in the barrel cuz the Sabre doesnt come with them.

The outer dimensions on the PRI .936" GB looks the same as a .750" GB, the hole just looks bigger and it looks like the dimensions on the GB stayed the same on the PRI. (I hope!)

that or you can just line up the gas port, drive the screws in snug and it'll leave indentations. take your gas block back out and you can then use a bastard file or a dremel to make your own divots. Just go slow
