You may have to trim the rear internal of the rails, just have to fit it first. If you have a straight gas chamber from front to rear it should work with no modifications either way. On my AK the gas chamber had to be modified due to the wood stoke sleeve retainer was in the way. Either way you will like the end result, rugged and very well built rail system....

I am using this product on my AR 556. With a rail gas block. It works very well any rear site apature will work but if you are going to be using a scope ever I would suggest the low profile black hawk flip up rear site.

I use mine to punch steel castle nuts on AR-15's, should work for your purpose.

The gas block though is what you'll need to look into. And maybe a gas tube. Not sure if gastube is gona have a slightly different bend in it or not.I've built several so far but not with a bull barrel yet. Let me know how she turns out.

No, gas this sight is meant for a low profile gas block. You need a stanard height front sight.

I have welded plate and aluminum with mine. I purchased the spool gun also. It welds very good on either one. I'm using 100% argon with the aluminum. I'm very pleased and do recommend.

as log as the gas block rail ad the upper rail are in the same plane it should work

Yes it would. I use this press with rcbs dies and a hornady shell holder and I don't have any problems..but if you have an ar-15 you may want to put your money toward a multi staged press. Reloading with a single stage press is a slow process and requires quite a few components that might be better acquired from a kit. Check out YouTube. There are a lot of good resources related to this type of press and many others mentioned by name.

I mounted one on an older model mini--I am not familiar with the gas block design on the newer 'tactical' model. Sounds like a 'accu-strut' question, sorry.

Block has worked on every handgun I have tried it on. XD not sure but I bet it works just fine

I use mine in a standard 14" chop saw that runs at 3800rpm. The blade is rated at 2000rpm, but I wanted something that would cut thick aluminum. It really works well on the aluminum. I'm able to clamp the work tightly in the chop saw vise, and slowly push the saw through the work. It goes through nearly effortlessly, and makes a nice smooth cut. I have not tried it on steel, since it is running over speed, and I want to keep the blade in good shape.

I don't have a mill so I simply used a 4.5" angle grinder with a 1/16" cut off wheel to make that over sized T nut fit my lathe. Now everything works as it should and I love this quick change tool post. Cutting the T nut that comes with the tool post is not difficult. Not being a machinist by trade I didn't panic over precision cutting. If it is flat on one surface and will fit the slot use it. It's only a piece of metal with one threaded hole that's too big to fit a T slot. Cut to fit. It's worth it. I hope you enjoy it.

Its designed for lower profile gas blocks. It will stand too tall on a rail height block.

Hobart web site is the best to find good information. You can only use 100% argon gas. There are a number of tips that work. Clean material is a must. Have tools designated as aluminum only, hand wire brush and 4" grinder wire wheel. Also, practice on scrape. It is a really fast process, you have to weld faster than steel welding. You can push better than pulling the puddle. I as weird as it sounds you can well down hill easy. If you don't have Aluminum grinding wheels for your grinder. The aluminum fills up the wheel fast, but if you run candle wax on the wheel before it last a lot longer. You have to do it every few minutes. I hope this helps. Oh, keep a number of tips on hand.

No I don't think so because the hight offset between the rail and the gas block.Call Troy and they can hook you up with the correct info. I would still get them off Amazon if you can, better deals!

I wouldn't mount this to the gas block. The screws are probably too wide apart. This rail is typically used to tilt the scope down to increase the elevation adjustment. I don't know of any rails specifically designed to extend from a gas block.
