When it comes to reliable and dependable rifles, there are quite a few that fit the bill. However, no platform offers the unbeatable modularity of the AR rifle.
It is the single most easily customized rifle in the world. Don’t like harsh recoil? No problem. Swap your regular buffer with a heavier one and let it cushion the recoil. Want to run light 55-grain loads? Just switch to a light buffer. And that’s not all. You can change your OEM trigger to a competition one or even replace the sighting system with an LVPO. In fact, you can do just about everything you like till your bespoke rifle meets your exacting requirements.
That’s why it’s the number one choice for everyone, from homeowners prepared to use it to defend their homes and health to law enforcement agencies, as well as our nation’s military.
However, its near-endless possibilities for customization are just one aspect of this fine rifle. It’s also an extraordinarily reliable weapon platform, and this has a lot to do with the gas block found on both direct-impingement and piston-operated AR rifles.
While all the external accessories, such as lasers, tactical lights, RDS, slings, etc., are well and good, it’s what’s inside that really matters. Even your top-of-the-line nickel boron BCG, not to mention the LPK, would be functionally useless should the rifle fail to cycle correctly. That is if your gas block doesn’t work the way it is supposed to. This holds particularly true if you use both light and heavy loads in the same magazine.
People who truly understand this platform consider the gas block to be the single most important component in assuring seamless reliability of this great weapon system. Should the gas block malfunction in any way, such as if it bleeds too much or too little gas, your semi-auto AR would become a bolt-action weapon. Unfortunately, the gas block is just something ‘that’s there’ in the rifle, and many people don’t even think twice about it.
The OW Gas Block: Just What Your Rifle Needs!
A conventional gas block comes with a fixed-size aperture that can only vent a precise amount of gas through the gas tube. However, your Oden Works adjustable gas block has a valve that can be narrowed or widened courtesy of a screw that can control the volume of gas flowing through the tube every time the weapon is fired.
This is a game-changer right there since it means you can shoot all kinds of light and heavy loads without fiddling with your buffers. Nor would you have to suffer from the indignity of manually chambering a round after every shot. Venting excess gas also leads to significant recoil reduction.
In a nutshell, if you want the most reliable and softest shooting AR around, then the Odin Works Adjustable Gas Block is just the thing for you!
