Abstract
A gas block for a firearm may include a body, a barrel bore extending from a first end to a second end of the body and configured to receive a portion of a barrel therein, a gas tube bore extending from the first end toward the second end and configured to receive a portion of a gas tube therein, a gas port extending from the barrel bore to the gas tube bore, and an alignment aperture extending from the gas tube bore to a top side of the body and coaxial with the gas port, with the alignment aperture being configured to allow visualization of alignment of the gas port with a barrel gas port of the barrel.
Claims18
A gas block for a firearm, the gas block comprising:
- a body having a first end, a second end disposed opposite the first end in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the body, a top side, a bottom side disposed opposite the top side in a direction of a vertical axis of the body, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side disposed opposite the first lateral side in a direction of a transverse axis of the body;
- a barrel bore extending from the first end to the second end and configured to receive a portion of a barrel therein;
- a gas tube bore extending from the first end toward the second end and configured to receive a portion of a gas tube therein;
- a gas port extending from the barrel bore to the gas tube bore, wherein the gas port includes a cylindrical portion with an inner diameter and a frustoconical portion which extends from the barrel bore to the cylindrical portion, wherein the cylindrical portion extends from the frustoconical portion to the gas tube bore;
- and
- an alignment aperture extending from the gas tube bore to the top side and coaxial with the gas port, wherein the alignment aperture is configured to allow visualization of alignment of the gas port with a barrel gas port of the barrel, wherein an inner diameter of the alignment aperture is less than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion of the gas port.

A gas assembly for a firearm, the gas assembly comprising:
- a barrel comprising:
- a first bore;
- and
- a barrel gas port extending from the first bore to an outer surface of the barrel;
- a gas tube comprising:
- a second bore;
- and
- a gas tube gas port extending from the second bore to an outer surface of the gas tube;
- and
- a gas block comprising:
- a body having a first end, a second end disposed opposite the first end in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the body, a top side, a bottom side disposed opposite the top side in a direction of a vertical axis of the body, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side disposed opposite the first lateral side in a direction of a transverse axis of the body;
- a barrel bore extending from the first end to the second end and receiving a portion of a barrel disposed therein;
- a gas tube bore extending from the first end toward the second end and receiving a portion of the gas tube therein;
- a gas block gas port extending from a gas bore of the barrel to the gas tube bore, wherein the gas block gas port includes a frustoconical portion having a varying inner diameter and a cylindrical portion having a constant inner diameter;
- and
- an alignment aperture extending from the gas tube gas tube bore to the top side and coaxial with the gas tube gas port, wherein the alignment aperture is configured to allow visualization of alignment of the gas tube gas port with the barrel gas port during assembly of the gas assembly, wherein an inner diameter of the alignment aperture is less than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion of the gas block gas port.

A method of manufacturing a gas block for a firearm, the method comprising:
- providing a body having a first end, a second end disposed opposite the first end in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the body, a top side, a bottom side disposed opposite the top side in a direction of a vertical axis of the body, a first lateral side, and a second lateral side disposed opposite the first lateral side in a direction of a transverse axis of the body;
- providing a barrel bore extending from the first end to the second end and configured to receive a portion of a barrel therein;
- providing a gas tube bore extending from the first end toward the second end and configured to receive a portion of a gas tube therein;
- providing a gas port extending from the barrel bore to the gas tube bore, wherein the gas port includes a cylindrical portion with an inner diameter and a frustoconical portion which extends from the barrel bore to the cylindrical portion, wherein the cylindrical portion extends from the frustoconical portion to the gas tube bore;
- and
- providing an alignment aperture extending from the gas tube bore to the top side and coaxial with the gas port, wherein the alignment aperture is configured to allow visualization of alignment of the gas port with a barrel gas port of the barrel, wherein an inner diameter of the alignment aperture is less than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion of the gas port.
