    The method of attachment is...questionable, at very best, lending credence to your position.

    No information on the various port size, either. I don't think this is a great option for those that will adjust simply based on changing loads, 5 different options doesn't seem very granular at all. I'm also leery on if the adjustment system will seize up under use.

    I wish someone would just licence the MicroMOA system. The NG2 Worm sounds interesting, but seems to be vaporware.

    But what about their stuff in general? They certainly seem prolific.

    I have no idea. Never heard of them before.

    The basic design of this gas block is...poor, so...it doesn’t make me feel warm and fuzzy about the rest of their products.

    I also don’t get not having a detent to prevent the port from being slightly offset....or what exactly holds the port dial from...working its way back out of the block.

    I wish that I'd gotten a MicroMOA AGB, had to settle for a Superlative one and it works fine.

    I’ve never needed an adjustable gas block on any of my BCM uppers. At worst, ejection is around 3:00 to 2:00 in an SBR with heavy loads and a can. I can live with that.

    Yeah. I wouldn’t push the functionality envelope to the point id have to worry about on-the-fly adjustability. Shrug.

    All in what you’re chasing, I suppose.

    I’ve absolutely had to change gas settings with my Sig SRD556 can while shooting different ammo. This is on a BCM 11.5”.

    My BCM 11.5 with OEM gas system has been good with everything I’ve fed it. H buffer. Standard buffer spring. With or without Omega can.

    What load changes precipitated that need?

    What buffer/weight/spring?
