The CMMG 55DA38D Low-Profile Gas Block delivers reliable gas system operation with a streamlined profile that accommodates free-floating handguards. Chrome moly steel construction ensures consistent performance across thousands of rounds while maintaining the clean aesthetics modern shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
This low-profile design sits flush beneath most free-float rail systems, eliminating the bulky appearance of standard gas blocks. The precision-machined chrome moly steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard carbon steel alternatives. Set screws secure the block to the barrel journal with 15 ft-lbs of torque, creating a gas-tight seal that maintains consistent cycling pressure.
Key Features
- Low-profile design clears free-floating handguards and rail systems
- Chrome moly steel construction resists corrosion and heat stress
- .750" inner diameter fits standard AR-15 barrel journals
- Dual set screw mounting system ensures secure barrel attachment
- Precision gas port alignment maintains optimal cycling pressure
- Matte black finish reduces glare and blends with most builds
- Compatible with standard AR-15 gas tubes and handguard systems
Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling across various ammunition weights and environmental conditions. The chrome moly construction maintains dimensional stability through rapid-fire sequences and temperature extremes. Competition shooters benefit from the reduced weight compared to adjustable gas blocks, while the low profile accommodates precision free-float barrels without interference.
