So, I have a dumb question.
I have a Smith & Wesson M&P15 that still has/had the NY-compliant 16" barrel with no threads, flash hider, etc. It has a "full size" railed gas block on it. I finally got around to buying a new Daniel Defense barrel for it, and proceeded to install it today.
Let me tell you...removing the gas block on this thing is an absolute PITA. I've pretty much destroyed this thing trying to remove, along with the handguard cap. No big deal, I'll just buy a new cap and gas block. My question is...is there an issue if I were to buy a low profile gas block instead of full-sized railed gas block? I use the ARMS composite BUIS, therefore I don't mount it on the gas block anyhow.
Am I making sense?
