    Try BTE, Battle Tested Equipment. They've made some that worked very well for my setup. I've got both a .986 and a .750 with low profile adjustable from them. Fit under my UTG slim profile hand guard is excellent.
    If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

      They don't make a low profile .875 adjustable. If I am running suppressed with this barrel, do I need to have adjustable?

        Ahh - I see what happened. They do, but are not currently in the drop list, which usually means temporarily out of stock.

        This might do the trick for you, if you don't mind the set screw.

        I don't own a suppressor, but most folks I hear say "YES!" to adjustable gas blocks. The suppressors are quite hard on BCG's and create significant back pressure. An adjustable gas block allows you to cut that back to a manageable level.

          After I sent that I reread the description and thought that may be the case. Thanks for clearing that up for me, I'll give them a call tomorrow. Many thanks sir. I would rather go with the clamp on versus the set screw.

          From what I've read everyone is saying what you said in regard to running suppressed. Thanks again for everything, I'm excited about this gas block!

            Is there anyone who could make a standard lopro gas block with an undersized port that could be drilled, or machined to a known good size for this length barrel and gas length?
            I bought the Troy .875 lopro gas block, I'm sure it will fit under just about any hand guard. I'm going to try it first to see how bad it's overgrassed.

              Another quick update, I called Troy Industries and asked about getting a gas block with an undersized or undrilled port hole.
              He's going to see if it's possible to pull one. I'll let you know.

                  I do not see that they make a .875 version on their web site.
