Clamp-On Gas Blocks – Adjustable & Low-Profile AR-15 Options
Adjustable & Low-Profile Clamp-On Gas Blocks for AR-15
Looking for a gas block that offers both security and flexibility? Clamp-on style gas blocks give AR-15 builders an easy, non-permanent option for fine-tuning performance. Whether you're upgrading for suppressed shooting, competition, or general use, these blocks fit securely without damaging your barrel.
Why Choose a Clamp-On Gas Block?
Clamp-on gas blocks wrap around your barrel and tighten using side screws. Unlike set-screw models, they don’t require barrel dimpling or leave permanent marks. This makes them ideal for builders who swap barrels or make frequent changes.
Common reasons to upgrade:
- Adjustable gas flow for suppressor use
- Reduced recoil with bleed-off designs
- Easier maintenance and installation
- Precision tuning for competitive AR builds

Installation Notes
Clamp-on blocks use torque-tightened side screws to create a solid hold. No permanent modification is required. Just match the block to your barrel’s gas journal diameter, tighten evenly, and you’re ready to go.
