The POF Dictator Adjustable Gas Block delivers precise gas system tuning for AR-15 platforms with its innovative toolless adjustment mechanism. This .750" gas block eliminates the need for Allen keys or specialized tools during range sessions or field maintenance. QPQ nitride coating provides superior corrosion resistance and extended service life compared to standard phosphate finishes.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional adjustable gas blocks that require disassembly for tuning, the Dictator features an external adjustment knob accessible without removing handguards or breaking down the rifle. The system offers 9 distinct settings from fully closed to wide open, allowing shooters to optimize cycling for different ammunition weights, suppressor use, or environmental conditions. This precision adjustment capability reduces bolt carrier velocity and brass ejection distance while maintaining reliable function.
Key Features
- Toolless external adjustment with 9 precise gas flow settings
- .750" journal diameter fits standard AR-15 gas block applications
- QPQ nitride finish provides 65+ HRC surface hardness and corrosion protection
- Low-profile design clears most free-float handguard systems
- Set screw and roll pin mounting system ensures secure barrel attachment
- Compatible with carbine and mid-length gas systems
- Machined from 4140 steel for dimensional stability under heat cycling
Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling across various ammunition types from 55-grain varmint loads to 77-grain match bullets. The adjustable gas system proves particularly valuable when transitioning between suppressed and unsuppressed shooting, eliminating over-gassing issues that cause excessive bolt speed and premature extraction. Competition shooters benefit from reduced felt recoil and faster follow-up shots when properly tuned.
