The Strike Industries ARLPGB AR Low Profile Gas Block transforms standard AR-15 builds with its precision-machined .750" bore diameter and black nitride finish. This gas block eliminates the bulk of traditional front sight towers while maintaining reliable gas system operation for improved accuracy and customization options.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard A2 front sight towers that add unnecessary weight and limit handguard options, this low profile design sits flush beneath most free-float handguards. The black nitride coating provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard phosphate finishes, extending service life in harsh environments. Precision CNC machining ensures consistent gas port alignment and reliable cycling across various ammunition weights.
Key Features
- Precision .750" bore diameter fits standard AR-15 barrel journals
- Black nitride finish resists corrosion and wear better than phosphate
- Low profile design allows full-length handguard installation
- CNC machined from 4140 steel for dimensional accuracy
- Standard .093" gas port accommodates carbine and mid-length systems
- Set screw retention system prevents gas block migration
- Compatible with most AR-15 platform rifles and pistols
This gas block delivers consistent performance across temperature extremes and firing schedules. The reduced profile eliminates front sight post interference while maintaining proper gas system pressure for reliable extraction and ejection. Competition shooters benefit from the clean barrel profile that accommodates longer handguards and bipod mounting systems. The nitride finish withstands thousands of rounds without degradation, making it suitable for high-volume training and duty applications.
