Need help with gas blocks

[Tgself1]

I am new to building guns and I am building an 18 inch 6.5 Grendel for hunting. The barrel I have ordered is from ar15parts.com, it is a stainless steel mid length 18 inch barrel. For this particular setup is it necessary to have an adjustable gas block, or will a standard gas block work just fine? FYI I do not have any plans in the near future to reload for it.

Are you going to be suppressing it?

If your not into tuning, just shoot it and see, maybe get away with a heavier buffer..

The cost difference between an adjustable gas block and regular is not worth not having one imo. If you ever plan on suppressing, your gas port drilled a little to big, or using different bcgs (low mass, regular), different weight buffers, can all be tuned with an agb.

Yep. You can buy decent quality adjustable gas blocks for around $40. I have this gas block on one AR and it has worked great. https://www.wojtekweaponry.com/Wojte...lock_p_27.html I also have gas blocks from Odin Works, JP and Superlative Arms as well.

AGB's are very useful and future proof your assembly, just be careful of carbon buildup causing the adjustable capability to lockup.

I have the complete upper from AR15parts.com with the same barrel. I put a Superlative Arms AGB and it fit perfectly under their low profile hand guard. I do shoot suppressed and it works well. I did put a heavier buffer and silent capture spring system also.
