Just finished assembling my SBR- one problem, original gas block is no good. Looking for recommendations for a good low profile adjustable gas block. Going on a 7.5" AR (5.56) currently has a KAK muzzle device but eventually should wear a can ( hence adjustable). Thanks yall.

You can use a Gemtech BCG for suppressors. Pretty slick IMO.
But I'm a newb when it comes to this stuff.

No good as in the rifle doesn't cycle correctly or as in its over gassing? Lol
Man I never heard of that happening. Lol. The issue ur gonna run into is adjusting the gas block and locking the set screw once it's adjusted all under the handguard. Unless u get a noveske switchblock or something like that or a fortis switch rail so u can remove the handguard quickly. I know a lot of people use adjusted gas blocks so they may chime in with some other ideas. I know syrac adjustable gas block has a "detent" so u don't have to mess with a locking set screw. So if u have a long allen wrench, it could be adjusted under the handguard easily I think. Have u thought about the lmt enhanced bolt carrier and using a standard gas block?
Isn't your adjustable bcg a Gemtech?
It is but it's only for unsppressed/suppressed settings so even if the rifle is overgassed, in the suppressed setting the rifle won't cycle. The LMT enhanced bolt carrier has an extra gas port so it will cut back on the gas but will run fine with or without a can.
Try SLRRifleworks.com . I bought one of their low profile adjustable gas blocks for an AR 10 platform build in 6.5 creedmoor and I could not be happier with it.
Take a drive up to Integrity Arms in Jeffferson and have Justin hook you up. Get your barrel dimpled for $15 (he does it while you wait with jig) and get an adjustable gas block at the same time. A little over $60 total and you will be GTG. He knows his stuff and can make other suggestions if you need it. @IntegrityArms

Second the slr. Get the dimpling jig and do it yourself, then sell the jig.
