SLR or SYRAC adj. gas block for 24" 5.56/223 match build?

[DavidAR10]

Not asking for a snarky communal shower sword fight.

Just asking.

MarkCO has stated that "The Syracs have been plagued with numerous failures". I have a 0.936" SS II on order.

So, again, which gas block for a consistant < O.5 MOA, ten (10) shot group @ 100yds piece of pipe?



Thanks to those that know.

The new Gen II Syracs seems to address previous issues. Here is a video.

They are both fantastic.... I have both..... If you move the adjustment screw on occasion you will never have an issue.... The so called failure is carbon building up on adjustment screw making adjustment difficult..... There have been no other problems I'm aware of.....

Syracuse is GTG, just see no need for an adj block on the listed setup

It's very obvious to me. BUTT!!! of course, I used to teach Observation.

And, I have no idea what Kamkaze's input was for. I didn't see any gas block in that video.

I have a Syrac block with the detent that you need to push in before the screw will turn.

After shooting it a bunch on a .308 gun, the detent didn't feel like moving. One drop of CLP and it started moving very easily again.

I haven't had any problem getting it to work.

SLR, the leaf spring design is superior...

could you expand on this?

I have the Syrac on my .308 and am very pleased, never any issues. The SLR looks good also. I don't think you could go wrong between the two.

It uses a Titanium Leaf Spring as a detent, some benefits are explained here.
