Anyone know the best AR gunsmith in Baton Rouge? I "built" my first AR (bought all the pieces and paid a gunsmith to put it together). It's not a huge thing but when I look down the rail I notice my gasblock doesn't sit perfectly straight. This causes the BCG to knock the gas tube back to center when the bolt cycles. Was wondering if I could find a local, reputable person to straighten it.

Come see me, Beau, or Ruffin at Bowie Outfitters, or Conrad at Sulzer Firearms.

Is the block pinned or set screwed with dimple?

Without seeing it, it sounds like you are saying the person who assembled the upper pinned the gasblock on crooked? It can be fixed, but you're going to need a new gas block and if you want it pinned it will need to be drilled in front or behind of the current crooked hole. If you don't care about aesthetics you can mash out the pin, straighten the block and just use the set screws to secure it, or you can get it re-pinned and just have a hole in your gas block. Sounds like your guy tried to freehand it instead of using a proper jig. Anyway, we don't do gunsmithing, per se, but we do fix fudged up AR15s and builds on the reg.

It's official she is done. picked up omega from jail this afternoon!!! Can't wait to see how the gun and the suppressor run.

when did you start the process for the can?

Here's a little product review for you gents. Finally got to hit the range to test out my Govnah gas block on my 5.56. This is my first adjustable gas block of any kind, as I've tried to stay away from them in the past. I'm of the philosophy that the simpler something is, the less chance you have of something breaking or going wrong. With that being said, the gas to the face when shooting my 5.56 SBR suppressed was pretty brutal.

These things are pricey, but I liked the concept of its design. No screws, it's simply a plate you slide left or right that has a different size gas port on each side, one for suppressed and one for not. Switching between the 2 is very accessible and easily done.

Performance wise, it was pretty amazing. The rifle runs smooth as butter, there's no gas to the face, and felt recoil is much less. It was like shooting a different rifle all together. I did have 2 failure to feeds out of 300 rounds, but both were the very last round coming out of a drum mag (Magpul D60).
