Depends - what barrel make and what type of pins?

The gas tube "size" makes no difference, it's the height/shape of the gas block that matters.

Also, not all "low profile" gas blocks will fit under a free float tube. The Troys rails are pretty generous, but the Noveske NSRs require the lowest profile gas block.

Do you have a delta ring installed? If so, you'll need to pull the barrel to get it off, or cut it away.

The Troy rail will mount to the existing barrel nut, which is nice.


Good info, I didn't realize the free float rails differed enough to make a distinction for which low profile gas block I would need? Looking at a Larue low profile block. Yes I believe my AR has a Delta Ring so cutting would be easier way to take it off. A dremel and channel locks should take care of it.
