Odin Works Tuneable Gas Block vs Superlative Arms AGB

[Axis24]

Hi all. New to the forum. I’m in the process of building my first 6 ARC, an 18” gas gun. I’ve settled on the 18” DMR profile barrel by Odin works and it comes with their tunable block. I already ordered an SA AGB as I didn’t know the barrel came with a block. I was wondering though, which of these two might be a better option. I will be running this build with a suppressor. Thanks in advance.

For suppressor I would go with the superlative one. For some reason I didn't really like the odin GB. The biggest advantage of the SA is that it will vent gasses forward for you, and tunable, which helps your rig run better under a suppressor. It actually can vent/choke either way, the forward vent is what they recommend for a suppressor.

The Odin tunable block is functional but is a PIA. You need to remove a set screw to make adjustments and then thread it back in when your done. In addition to being a PIA, little things like that screw are easily lost when your making your adjustments on the shooting bench.

I personally prefer the Superlative design above all others.

Yep, the SA AGB is far and away better than the Odin tunable block.

FWIW, the SA gas block is easy to adjust. But for my 20” +2 Bartlien barrel shooting supressed it sits right in the middle of the settings. Probably didn’t need it.
