Yankee Hill Machine Co Low Profile Gas Block, Pinch Screw, .750″, Black

Description

The Yankee Hill Machine Co Low Profile Gas Block is a .750 diameter pinch screw gas block made from steel with a phosphate coating, built to replace your existing front sight base with a slim, handguard-friendly profile. Two clamping screws clamp the block around the barrel rather than biting into it, and because of this, the pinch screw design puts less stress on the barrel surface than a standard set screw mount. As a result, the YHM low profile gas block gives you a clean, secure fit on your .750 barrel journal without the risk of screw-to-steel contact points that set screw blocks create.

In addition, the low profile shape clears free-float handguards so you can run a rifle-length forearm on a carbine-length barrel without fitment issues. Furthermore, the phosphate finish adds rust resistance and keeps the block looking matte black through heat cycles and field use. Moreover, the steel body holds up well to the repeated stress of cycling gas pressure over a long service life. Also, the .750 bore diameter fits the most common AR-pattern barrel gas block journal, so this block works across a wide range of builds. When you want a step up from a basic set screw block without going to a full clamp or pinning setup, the YHM pinch screw gas block is a solid middle-ground option.

However, this gas block uses pinch clamping screws and does not include a taper pin or full clamp option. Therefore, confirm your barrel’s gas block journal is .750 in diameter before ordering the Yankee Hill Machine Low Profile Gas Block.
