reduction in recoil faster recoil recovery faster sight picture acquisition between shots heat
reduction at the bolt and a bit cleaner running
The Case for Adjustable Gas Blocks
All things in the gas system must be in a zen state of balance and generally on an AR-15 direct
impingement system they are pretty unbalanced tipping gluttonously in favor of a guarantee of reliability while making the deep sacrifice of heavier recoil in the process
A direct impingement system works pretty simply the round fires the bullet travels down the barrel
pressure is leached off via a gas port (small hole) in the barrel which pushes gas up into a gas
block and the gas block reroutes the gas back down the gas tube and back into the BCG (boltcarrier group) That pressure presses on the bolt o-rings inside the carrier which unlocks the bolt
and cycles the action Repeat until the magazine is empty
The length and internal dimensions of gas tube size of gas port in the barrel internal dimensions of
the gas block placement of the gas block on the barrel gas port (correctly or incorrectly) barrel
length type of compensator or suppressor placement of the gas port on the barrel more forward or
backward friction of the BCG position and condition of the o-rings on the bolt weight of the buffer
rate of the buffer spring weight of the rifle rate of powder burn of the ammo amount of powder how
hot the primer is bullet weight whether the BCG bounced during the last cycle and is oh-so-slightly
out of battery or not a shooterrsquos shooting style and more all play roles which much be kept in a zen-like balance for the riflersquos functioning to be optimally tuned Generally though manufacturers have
errored on the obscenely over-gassed side to guarantee reliability even if it does beat up the
shooter

For many of us the palm to the foreheadilluminating moment comes when we try a mid-length or
rifle-length gas system with less recoil that seems to run longer cleaner and cooler to some degree
all while being more reliable Hmmm less gas pressure
All an adjustable gas block does is adjust gas pressure just like a faucet does with water Even by
turning that gas pressure down significantly most gas system are so over-gased that total reliability
can still be had while delivering huge benefits to the shooter Today we can control gas pressure
with Adjustable Gas Blocks like those from Syrac Ordnance By using even lighter weight Bolt Carrier
Groups from Young or JP and low mass buffers and springs we can turn that gas down even more
for an amazingly light recoiling AR-15

How an Adjustable Gas Block Works
Most people view the adjustable gas block in the same mindset as a fad like Shake Weights or Chia
Pets instead of the innovation that it is Oddly many of these doubters I have talked with seem to
embrace the adjustable piston systems which [cough] are in essence adjustable gas systems
[cough] but they think adjustable direct impingement systems somehow have less merit I am a
believer in adjustable gas systems and I have shocked and awed myself and others during testing
with the dramatic metamorphosis which occurs from transforming a punchy 556 AR-15 to a flat soft
and fast shooting firearm by just by reducing gas pressure
Generally all ldquoadjustablerdquo gas blocks work the same A screw simply pinches closed the gap between
the barrel gas port and the gas tube just like a faucet controlling a stream of water
There are now a ton of adjustable gas blocks on the market which offer a screw stuck in a gas block
The idea is so simple that even a lightly skilled individual such as myself has converted three
standard gas blocks to adjustable versions on two carbines and one mid-length rifle system The
most significant problem becomes locking in the adjustment This is where the patented Syrac
Ordnance adjustable gas block is the best option It locks into position with a detent so the
adjustment will never move on you
How to Tune an Adjustable Gas Block forPerformance and Reliability
1 Assure the firearm is unloaded and the chamber is clear Syrac recommends tuning on
a dry un-oiled rifle with the lightest load you will use
2 Carefully turn the adjustment screw all the way down clockwise until it bottoms out
(approximately three full turns) and then back off one full turn
3 Load one round in the magazine and seat the magazine

4 Shoot the gun with an offhand shooting position The bolt should lock back If the BCG
locks back move on to step 5 If not skip to step 6
5 If the BCG locks back turn the screw clockwise in frac14 turn increments repeating the
steps 4-5 until the bolt no longer holds back then back out counter-clockwise frac14 turn
and proceed to step 6
6 If the BCG does not lock back turn the screw counter-clockwise in frac14 turn increments
repeating the steps 4-6 until the bolt holds back and proceed to step 7
7 Increase in counter-clockwise frac14 turn increments as needed until the bolt holds back
successfully three consecutive single round shots
8 If successful your AR-15 is now optimally tuned for that ammo
9 If concerned with assuring reliability with a broader range of ammo then add frac14 or 12
counter-clockwise turn You will get a bit more recoil however your reliability will
increase if you swap ammo a lot I usually add 12 turn and rarely have any problems
going forward with any ammo
NOTE ndash If you move an upper to a different lower make sure that you use the buffer and buffer spring from the lower that you used to tune the upper otherwise the gas block should be re-tuned
Tuning Observations
Once you get things set up and tuned plus that 14 or 12 extra counter-clockwise turn you will
rarely if ever have any reliability issues while enjoying a better shooting AR
With an adjustable gas block a standard AR-15 BCG a buffer and buffer spring is actually preferred
instead of heavier H1 and H2 variants will allow a lower gas pressure setting and will net you the

biggest benefit of recoil reduction After all a lighter BCG buffer and buffer spring requires less gas
pressure to move
It has been my experience that heavy buffers heavy buffer springs and M16 carrier groups
increase tuning complexity as this extra mass is more sensitive to gas pressure and ammunition
changes ARs with these heavier components will require a higher gas pressure setting for operation
and will deliver slightly more recoil when compared to systems with standard components
Contrary to rumors on some forums so far none of my adjustable gas blocks have required special
cleaning of any kind
As noted above if you move an upper to a different lower then you must ensure that you use the
buffer and buffer spring from the lower that you used to tune the upper otherwise the gas block
should be re-tuned Additionally changes to muzzle brakes or flash hiders changes to buffer buffer
spring carrier bolt and handloads or low velocity rounds may require re-tuning for optimal
reliability

Final Thoughts
I would recommend JP PRI or Syrac Ordnance Gas blocks but there are others that I simply have
not tried The other option is to make one with a little patience All it really takes is a drill bit a tap
and a screw The JP models offer a top picatinny rail and Syrac Ordnance provide a low profile
alternative and locking detent settings in a package that will slip under even the skinniest
handguards
Adjustable gas blocks deliver a dramatic advantage for AR owners and in my opinion are the most
significant performance upgrades you can make to shoot faster reduce fatigue on you and your
firearm and may potentially make your AR-15 shoot longer without the need for cleaning Adjust

Pets instead of the innovation that it is Oddly many of these doubters I have talked with seem to
embrace the adjustable piston systems which [cough] are in essence adjustable gas systems
[cough] but they think adjustable direct impingement systems somehow have less merit I am a
believer in adjustable gas systems and I have shocked and awed myself and others during testing
with the dramatic metamorphosis which occurs from transforming a punchy 556 AR-15 to a flat soft
and fast shooting firearm by just by reducing gas pressure
Generally all ldquoadjustablerdquo gas blocks work the same A screw simply pinches closed the gap between
the barrel gas port and the gas tube just like a faucet controlling a stream of water
There are now a ton of adjustable gas blocks on the market which offer a screw stuck in a gas block
The idea is so simple that even a lightly skilled individual such as myself has converted three
standard gas blocks to adjustable versions on two carbines and one mid-length rifle system The
most significant problem becomes locking in the adjustment This is where the patented Syrac
Ordnance adjustable gas block is the best option It locks into position with a detent so the
adjustment will never move on you
How to Tune an Adjustable Gas Block forPerformance and Reliability
1 Assure the firearm is unloaded and the chamber is clear Syrac recommends tuning on
a dry un-oiled rifle with the lightest load you will use
2 Carefully turn the adjustment screw all the way down clockwise until it bottoms out
(approximately three full turns) and then back off one full turn
3 Load one round in the magazine and seat the magazine

4 Shoot the gun with an offhand shooting position The bolt should lock back If the BCG
locks back move on to step 5 If not skip to step 6
5 If the BCG locks back turn the screw clockwise in frac14 turn increments repeating the
steps 4-5 until the bolt no longer holds back then back out counter-clockwise frac14 turn
and proceed to step 6
6 If the BCG does not lock back turn the screw counter-clockwise in frac14 turn increments
repeating the steps 4-6 until the bolt holds back and proceed to step 7
7 Increase in counter-clockwise frac14 turn increments as needed until the bolt holds back
successfully three consecutive single round shots
8 If successful your AR-15 is now optimally tuned for that ammo
9 If concerned with assuring reliability with a broader range of ammo then add frac14 or 12
counter-clockwise turn You will get a bit more recoil however your reliability will
increase if you swap ammo a lot I usually add 12 turn and rarely have any problems
going forward with any ammo
NOTE ndash If you move an upper to a different lower make sure that you use the buffer and buffer spring from the lower that you used to tune the upper otherwise the gas block should be re-tuned
Tuning Observations
Once you get things set up and tuned plus that 14 or 12 extra counter-clockwise turn you will
rarely if ever have any reliability issues while enjoying a better shooting AR
With an adjustable gas block a standard AR-15 BCG a buffer and buffer spring is actually preferred
instead of heavier H1 and H2 variants will allow a lower gas pressure setting and will net you the

biggest benefit of recoil reduction After all a lighter BCG buffer and buffer spring requires less gas
pressure to move
It has been my experience that heavy buffers heavy buffer springs and M16 carrier groups
increase tuning complexity as this extra mass is more sensitive to gas pressure and ammunition
changes ARs with these heavier components will require a higher gas pressure setting for operation
and will deliver slightly more recoil when compared to systems with standard components
Contrary to rumors on some forums so far none of my adjustable gas blocks have required special
cleaning of any kind
As noted above if you move an upper to a different lower then you must ensure that you use the
buffer and buffer spring from the lower that you used to tune the upper otherwise the gas block
should be re-tuned Additionally changes to muzzle brakes or flash hiders changes to buffer buffer
spring carrier bolt and handloads or low velocity rounds may require re-tuning for optimal
reliability

Final Thoughts
I would recommend JP PRI or Syrac Ordnance Gas blocks but there are others that I simply have
not tried The other option is to make one with a little patience All it really takes is a drill bit a tap
and a screw The JP models offer a top picatinny rail and Syrac Ordnance provide a low profile
alternative and locking detent settings in a package that will slip under even the skinniest
handguards
Adjustable gas blocks deliver a dramatic advantage for AR owners and in my opinion are the most
significant performance upgrades you can make to shoot faster reduce fatigue on you and your
firearm and may potentially make your AR-15 shoot longer without the need for cleaning Adjust

For many of us the palm to the foreheadilluminating moment comes when we try a mid-length or
rifle-length gas system with less recoil that seems to run longer cleaner and cooler to some degree
all while being more reliable Hmmm less gas pressure
All an adjustable gas block does is adjust gas pressure just like a faucet does with water Even by
turning that gas pressure down significantly most gas system are so over-gased that total reliability
can still be had while delivering huge benefits to the shooter Today we can control gas pressure
with Adjustable Gas Blocks like those from Syrac Ordnance By using even lighter weight Bolt Carrier
Groups from Young or JP and low mass buffers and springs we can turn that gas down even more
for an amazingly light recoiling AR-15

steps 4-5 until the bolt no longer holds back then back out counter-clockwise frac14 turn
and proceed to step 6
6 If the BCG does not lock back turn the screw counter-clockwise in frac14 turn increments
repeating the steps 4-6 until the bolt holds back and proceed to step 7
7 Increase in counter-clockwise frac14 turn increments as needed until the bolt holds back
successfully three consecutive single round shots
8 If successful your AR-15 is now optimally tuned for that ammo
9 If concerned with assuring reliability with a broader range of ammo then add frac14 or 12
counter-clockwise turn You will get a bit more recoil however your reliability will
increase if you swap ammo a lot I usually add 12 turn and rarely have any problems
going forward with any ammo
NOTE ndash If you move an upper to a different lower make sure that you use the buffer and buffer spring from the lower that you used to tune the upper otherwise the gas block should be re-tuned
Tuning Observations
Once you get things set up and tuned plus that 14 or 12 extra counter-clockwise turn you will
rarely if ever have any reliability issues while enjoying a better shooting AR
With an adjustable gas block a standard AR-15 BCG a buffer and buffer spring is actually preferred
instead of heavier H1 and H2 variants will allow a lower gas pressure setting and will net you the

biggest benefit of recoil reduction After all a lighter BCG buffer and buffer spring requires less gas
pressure to move
It has been my experience that heavy buffers heavy buffer springs and M16 carrier groups
increase tuning complexity as this extra mass is more sensitive to gas pressure and ammunition
changes ARs with these heavier components will require a higher gas pressure setting for operation
and will deliver slightly more recoil when compared to systems with standard components
Contrary to rumors on some forums so far none of my adjustable gas blocks have required special
cleaning of any kind
As noted above if you move an upper to a different lower then you must ensure that you use the
buffer and buffer spring from the lower that you used to tune the upper otherwise the gas block
should be re-tuned Additionally changes to muzzle brakes or flash hiders changes to buffer buffer
spring carrier bolt and handloads or low velocity rounds may require re-tuning for optimal
reliability

Final Thoughts
I would recommend JP PRI or Syrac Ordnance Gas blocks but there are others that I simply have
not tried The other option is to make one with a little patience All it really takes is a drill bit a tap
and a screw The JP models offer a top picatinny rail and Syrac Ordnance provide a low profile
alternative and locking detent settings in a package that will slip under even the skinniest
handguards
Adjustable gas blocks deliver a dramatic advantage for AR owners and in my opinion are the most
significant performance upgrades you can make to shoot faster reduce fatigue on you and your
firearm and may potentially make your AR-15 shoot longer without the need for cleaning Adjust
