    I finally got the lower built after several months of owning it. I'm looking to make it light and am going with a Faxon 14.5" pencil barrel with built in flash suppressor, Toolcraft BCG, Spike's upper receiver, and an MLOK handguard. I'm assuming I will need a low profile gas block. Any recommendations? I don't want an adjustable block. Thanks.

    Just grab any standard low pro. Brownells and a bunch of places have generic ones for about $20. IMHO there is absolutely no benefit to spending a ton of money on a non adjustable gas block. I’ve got a bunch of generic blocks and not a single one as let me down. Just make sure you don’t over torque it and mess up the threads when installing it. Use some red loctite and do a second torquing after 1 or 2 mag dumps and everything is good and hot to account for expansion mismatches.
