Rifle Dynamics Tunable Front Sight/Gas Block Combo (45°/90° Gas Ports)
Our Rifle Dynamics Tunable front sight/gas block features a set screw on the front face to close & open gas. This makes it ideal for suppression as well as tuning for reliable use with a variety of ammo types. Similar to the RD Venom Gas Block, the RD Tunable gas block combines both the front sight and gas block into one unit, which will lighten up the front of your AK and will additionally make for a faster handling rifle by moving weight back and improving balance.
Please note, this gas block will not cover the existing gas block pin holes on your barrel. An extended handguard is the simplest way to make your build aesthetically pleasing, otherwise we would recommend purchasing the Rifle Dynamics Extended Tunable Front Sight/Gas Block that will cover the holes altogether, but will add 0.7 oz to the front end.
The Tunable FS/GB (front sight/gas block) features an adjustment screw on the front face of the block to either open or close off gas. The front sight mechanically adjusts the same as a traditional/standard AK front sight. The drum adjusts windage left and right, and the post screws up and down for elevation. *Includes AK sight tool, but most sight tools will work with our block.
***Our gas blocks will work with most AKM/AK74 patterned rifles with the acceptable journal range listed above. For all Serbian/Yugoslavian, Chinese, Vepr, or other larger size barrels it will require a professional gunsmith for installation.***

Zeroing Recommendations:
For RD builds we will traditionally do a rough zero at 25yds with the rear sight set at the 100 mark. This should get you on paper at 100yds. At that point adjust your elevation for a 100 or 200yd zero and print groups from 25yds to 300yds to know your drop.
We suggest a 100yd zero for 7.62x39 AKs and a 200yd zero for 5.45x39 & 5.56x45. We've founds that these distances provide the best groups for combat effective accuracy at different distances out to 300yds+ before needing to "hold over" or combat effective hits.
