The POF 00837 Dictator Adjustable Gas Block delivers precise gas system control for AR-15 platforms chambered in .223/5.56. This carbine-length gas block allows shooters to fine-tune their rifle's gas pressure for optimal performance across different ammunition types and barrel configurations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike fixed gas blocks that force shooters to accept whatever gas pressure their system produces, the Dictator features a tool-free adjustment system accessible from the handguard. The proprietary adjustment mechanism provides multiple settings to reduce over-gassing with suppressed fire or compensate for under-gassed systems. This eliminates the need for adjustable buffer systems or other workarounds that add complexity and potential failure points.
Key Features
- Tool-free gas adjustment accessible without removing handguard
- Machined from 7075-T6 aluminum with hard coat anodized finish
- Carbine-length gas port spacing (.750" journal diameter)
- Low-profile design fits under most free-float handguards
- Set screw retention system prevents movement under recoil
- Compatible with standard .223/5.56 AR-15 barrels
- Includes gas tube roll pin and mounting hardware
The Dictator gas block excels in applications where ammunition consistency varies or when switching between suppressed and unsuppressed configurations. Competition shooters benefit from reduced bolt velocity and ejection patterns, while tactical users appreciate the ability to optimize function with different loads. The anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion and heat buildup during extended firing sessions.
