Forward Controls Design Gas Block Utility for Gas Tube Pinning and Gas Block Pinning Silver GBU Gas Block Utility
This product will be available for sale in 2 weeks, but you can pre-order now to receive 10% discount!
GBU, or Gas Block Utility, was created to provide a sturdy and compact platform for users to install / remove gas tube pins on low profile gas blocks, and install / remove gas block pin on the barrel. Machined from a solid block of 6061, it's 3.35in (L) x 2.45in (W) x 0.94 (H), it weighs 7.52 oz. GBU's circular lines below and rough texture inside the gas block cavity are by design, lest anyone should think they're tool marks, these take machining time to put in place. Whereas it would have been good enough to have consistent surface throughout the GBU exterior, we put in thoughtful and useful touches. The textures are one of them, the other is the finger access relief access above and below the gas block cavity.
NOTE: GBU is compatible with low profile gas blocks. It is incompatible with TDP spec front sight post/gas blocks, or any adjustable gas blocks. GBU may be incompatible with gas blocks that use a tapered pin.
