Faxon Firearms GBALP6253 Low Profile Gas Block .625" AR-15

The Faxon Firearms GBALP6253 Low Profile Gas Block delivers precise gas regulation for .625" barrel profiles while maintaining a sleek profile that fits under most handguards. This machined steel component eliminates the bulk of traditional front sight base gas blocks without sacrificing reliability or durability.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard A2 front sight bases that add unnecessary height and weight, this low profile design measures just 0.75" in height above the barrel. The precision-machined construction ensures consistent gas port alignment, while the streamlined profile allows for free-floating handguard installation. Heat-treated steel construction handles rapid-fire schedules and high round counts that would stress aluminum alternatives.

Key Features

• Machined from heat-treated steel for maximum durability and heat resistance
• Low profile design at 0.75" height fits under most free-float handguards
• Precise .625" inner diameter matches standard AR-15 barrel journal specifications
• Set screw installation with anti-seize compound prevents galling
• Nitride finish resists corrosion and reduces maintenance requirements
• Compatible with standard .750" gas tubes and carbine through rifle length systems
• Eliminates front sight base bulk while maintaining proper gas function

Performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and extended firing sessions. The steel construction handles the thermal stress of rapid-fire competition stages and training courses without dimensional changes that affect gas system timing. Hunters appreciate the reduced snag potential when moving through dense cover, while competitive shooters benefit from the clean barrel profile that doesn't interfere with bipod placement or shooting positions.
