The enlarged model saved my sanity. I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get my rifle to cycle properly. I had it “wide open” which was causing too much bleed off. Which I assume caused insufficient pressure. Time to rebuild the rifle a 3rd time. It pays to understand the products ur using!!!

Good video I liked it. One issue that nobody mentioned either on the video or comments. The cyclic rate between the control and bleed off. This is huge. The bleed off SIGNIFICANTLY lowers the cyclic rate and that is critical for suppressed and full auto weapons. It also tells you that the bleed off is working far better than indicated in the video as the gas in the restricted flow is increasing the cyclic rate and pushing the gun harder...from what I can see at least 10 percent. With the bleed off there the cyclic rate for suppressed and unsuppressed would likely be similar. This is big just for that but also there is likely no need to change the gas setting when you plunk a can on there. I have been using a heavy-azzed MicroMoa gas block just for that reason. This is probably a better (lighter) solution...at least for me.

I've watched a number of your videos, and they are all excellent. I have a brand new, adjustable gas block from another company sitting in my parts box. However, I watch this video everytime I get ready to do a build and decide that I just have to order another one of these or my build just won't be up to snuff. Superlative should ask to host your vids about this product. I'm not sure why they go to the trouble to make such a unique device and then completely fail to explain the advantages in using it. I've looked at numerous videos about this item, many don't even touch on the bleed off feature. Your production is by far the best on the subject. The pipe and dowel setup that you made is an excellent visual aid.

This information is gold. I was having all manner of function issues (ftf, fte) with a new rifle that has the SA adjustable gas block. Thanks to your videos, I now understand how the gas block works and … more importantly … a process to adjust the bleed off. It was horribly overgassed, putting way too much energy into the BCG. 30 minutes later, the rifle now runs like a sewing machine; just enough gas to function but not too much.

Can’t thank you enough for this great explanation. I left the range a few days ago scratching my head over this gas block because i couldn’t get the gas dialed in. Shame on me because I didn’t read the instructions before setting off to adjust it. I just assumed it worked like every other AGB and the bleed off just happened in conjunction. Then when I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get the system adjusted and did read the instructions, I didn’t t really understand the bleed off concept. Now that I’ve watched your video everything I saw at the range all makes sense. Going to now watch your follow in video to see if you show how to adjust it. Thank you for a very informative video. I haven’t found a video this helpful in a looong time.

But, the price discrepancy makes me believe it’s complete crap! But, I have a “extra” 16” upper that I’m building for long range….i will be running it suppressed (ocl polonium) 99% of the time. I believe I’ll throw $18 to luth ar to see how it goes. Adjust it with rail off and keep it that way. Maybe find a sweet spot between canned and uncanned

Great videos Mike! I just completed a 300 black out upper with the set screw version of this gas block. The installation instructions that came with this gas block say "Carefully slide the gas block towards the shoulder, allowing for a .025 gap (use feeler gauges) between the shoulder of the barrel and the back of the block. This will locate the gas hole in the barrel with the gas hole in the block." I noticed you pushed yours all the way up to the shoulder, and have had no problems. I also pushed mine to the shoulder, but haven't test fired it yet. Do you have any feedback on this? Thanks, keep up the good videos!

In the video you say you can run the block in restrictive mode if you choose to. While that is true, just FYI, I just talked with Superlative yesterday because I had some questions and they informed me that the block is designed to always be run in bleed off. The only reason the restrictive part is there is for the option to completely close off the gas if needed or wanted. Just thought I'd pass the info along.

Also, another thing in verbiage that gets confusing is “clicks” vs “turns”. You say 4.5 turns gets to bleed off function. Meaning 4.5 times around “the clock”….how many “clicks” does 1 turn equal.

Thank you so much for explaining how it works. The instructions while yes it tells you what to do but for someone new to a bleed off block, I so hate to admit it but it had me scratching my head. Iiterature is so contradicting, states “patented bleed off system, bleeds instead of restricts” in a nutshell. But yet states turn counter clockwise 4.5 turns to “fully open” maximum gas pressure... then at first I misread and thought you’d naturally turn clockwise to decrease gas and counter clockwise to increase. Which from here yes clockwise would decrease because it restricts gas, however counter from there also decreases .... now I understand this is where bleed off starts... so in essence it does act as a conventional restricting gas block up to 4.5 turns out and then bleeds off thereafter fully open.... Haha I feel like an idiot but seeing your video before my first time out with it really would’ve saved me a lot of headache! They should state that inside 4.5 turns is restriction and outside 4.5 turns is where bleed off starts. That alone would explain a lot. Either that or I am an idiot but bleed off gas blocks being brand new to me I had no idea how it worked.. Thank you again for clearing this up! 2 years later and still helping people understand!

In my particular case…I want to add it on to a manufacturer built rifle (iwi Zion 15) and I’ve noticed my existing block is the set screw style, meaning it’s most likely pre dimpled for the block. In which cases would a person prefer the clamp on (besides a non dimpled barrel…wouldn’t you want to use the set screw and just mark and dimple your barrel? Seems like the best way to confirm gas hole alignment.

I ran into an under gassed situation with the wolf .223 in full auto with a heavy spring and buffer. Tuned down both and ran smooth as silk.

My thinking is to back it out all the way an start turning it in till I can eject 3 o'clock an lock back on one bullet. Basically the exact opposite of using the restricted part of the block.

Any malfunctions with that charging handle? Looks a lot like a raptor.

Hi, great videos, would you say it’s worth installing this on 11.5 inch sbr which will always be used with a suppressor. Brand is Daniel Defence ddm4- 7s.

How does this clamp on do as far as being a secure attachment method to the barrel??? Meaning have you had any problems with it walking, rotating, or coming lose is some way? Im looking for a good adjustable gas block for a 6.5 Grendel Proof Research barrel that I'm building a rifle around and I've never used a clamp on before I always dimple my barrel for set screws... Great video just subbed...

This is the set screw model. I use Rocksett. The gas blocks have stayed secure.

I was wondering. Do you think these gas blocks running in a bleed-off setting would keep the BCG cleaner and cooler then a standard DI system?
@MichaelBellmbell556

Yes. Any adjustable gas block will decrease the amount of hot gas that goes into the operating system. This will make things cleaner and cooler. The difference between bleed-off and restriction comes in when you are suppressed. The bleed-off gas block has an advantage over a standard restrictive gas block when there is a suppressor on the end of the barrel.

Thanks Michael. I thought that might be the case. If you get a chance when you get ready to field test this block, could you try and show the difference (if any) on how the BCG differs with respect to soot and grime from restrictive or bleed off ?

Yes, I was packed and headed out yesterday and a thunderstorm moved in while we were on the way to our property ("bullet creek" the name the kids came uo with). I thought I might take the go pro up close to the ejection port and do a mag dump with restriction vs bleed-off to see if you can see any difference in the amount of smoke and debris coming out of the ejection port during a 40 round full auto dump. I thought this might be a way to demonstrate a difference between the two techniques of adjustment. Plus it will be FUN. Going out in boat today but my truck is packed and ready to go out in the field Monday if weather is OK.

By the way would you mind sharing how many rounds you have through a Single Superlative Arm bleed off block? Reliability to me is #1 priority and it does concern me to have more moving parts in a gas block.

Can you make the necessary adjustments with a rail system / MLOK hand guard installed, or do you have to tune it, then install the hand guards?

You make the adjustments with the hand guard on using a long allen wrench..

Great informative video! I was curious if you could give me a little more info on the handguard? I just purchased this gas block and am having trouble finding a handguard that has enough clearance. All of the UTG Pro ones I've looked at dont seem to have enough room

This build is a UTG PRO. Worked fine. The gas block is a set screw type not a clamp on.

I just stumbled upon your site, and I have to say, you have a real gift for clearly teaching and demonstrating. I'm new to the AR world, and I want to upgrade my Ruger AR-556 and an incoming S&W MP10. What is the bar that you placed the upper receiver in to do your build? The piece that is held by your vice? I'm sure that is a dumb question, but I'm shopping for tools for the AR platform, and I notice that there are multiple ways to secure the upper receiver for working on it. Seems like AR-15 and AR-10 tools and builds are really interchangeable?? Thanks in advance.

Awesome video. I have this and a snach charging handle and still get domed with a decent amount of gas. My system also fails to completely cycle sometimes. Would allowing more gas allieviate both of these issues?
