- Standard build utilizes the Low Profile Aero Adjustable Gas Block (Ideal for Suppressor Use!) and Aero Black Nitride Carbine Length Gas Tube when available. Or the upgrade to the Superlative Arms Patented “Bleed Off” direct impingement gas block which adjusts the gas flow by bleeding the gas out of the front of the block instead of restricting the flow like conventional adjustable blocks. (VT Supply Favorite.) We will enable this as the only option available for adjustable blocks when we are out of the Aero Precision Adjustable Gas block.
