    Default Which gas block for new upper build

    I'm going to put together a new upper. I've ordered a 16" Daniel Defense government profile barrel, Spikes upper receiver, and a Midwest Insustries Gen 2 SS Free Flloat hand guard. Does anyone know, if the Daniel Defense clamp on gas block will fit under this handguard? If not, what gas block would you recommend?

    Most clamp on style gas blocks are too bulky to go under a free float. Get a low pro like VLTOR or similar

    The VLTOR one is an excellent choice. Fits under my Troy Alpha rail nicely. Troy alphas have a very slim profile too.

    Any of the set screws will fit. Clamp ons are a no go due to the design of the clamps for that rail.
