How to Adjust a Gas Block on a Q Sugar Weasel 5.56 Upper Receiver

[@NamSandwich-xz5us]

I took a dremel tool and made a circular hole large enough to fit the Allen keys without having to remove the hand guard. Easy enough.

[@thetexasgunvault]

That is a option and you just need to take your time and be careful.

[@texasthib2029]

That’s funny cause my honey badger came with a hole like that from Q integrated I got the mlock

Very helpful hope your new channel gets big man I didn’t know you before and I found it:) love your videos

[@thetexasgunvault]

Thank you. I am working hard to rebuild to what I had.

[@keenanschouten2582]

If you watch the kit badger review, he test fires it with the hand guard off, he also leaves the jam nut in place.

[@thetexasgunvault]

I will check it out.

[@chitterlingsrtasty]

Reason why the gas block is not accessible is because they just re purposed the honey badger SD hand guard for these 13 inch 556’s. (Yes I think it is still silly that they didn’t adjust the hand guard to access the gas block)

[@thetexasgunvault]

I think you are right. It would only take a little effort to fix it.

[@awsomedude9111]

I guess the Riflespeed gas block is the only one you would use for 8.6 Blackout?

[@thetexasgunvault]

I have never shot or handled an 8.6 Blackout so I can not say.

Who makes that scope mount + riser for the RDR?

[@thetexasgunvault]

I no longer have this one in for review, so I can not check. I am sorry.

[@Six_Eighty_One]

What is the tool called? Do you have a link to it? I can’t find it. Thanks in advance

[@thetexasgunvault]

I looked too. I could not find it. The owner said it was on Q's website. So I would contact them.

[@grant9256]

Does it have a mid length gas system? My 16 inch is advertised as a mid length but it looks like a carbine length. It looks to be in the same position as yours.

[@thetexasgunvault]

This one is carbine length.

[@illestdomer2005]

So is it a 3 position AGB or infinite?

[@thetexasgunvault]

I believe 3 position.

[@4g63mark]

That's a very poorly designed gas block, especially when you consider that Kevin talks at length about all the highly paid engineers he employs

[@thetexasgunvault]

I completely agree. It needs to line up with the cut out.

[@4g63mark]

@@thetexasgunvault That adjustment is also a very poor design that will carbon lock very early
