Forward Controls Design Gas Tube Pin Tool

The Forward Controls Design Gas Tube Pin Tool solves the problem inherent with installing a new gas tube pin on a low profile gas block. That problem is because gas blocks don’t have any flat surfaces on them, you have to simultaneously hold the block stead, hold the pin stead, and tap the pin into place. The GPT simplifies this process by fitting over the gas block and retaining the pin, so that all you have to do is tap it in. The GPT works with most gas blocks, including: Modern Armory, Forward Controls Gas Block, BCM, Rainier, VLTOR, Knight’s Armament, Badger Ordnance, Daniel Defense, SLR, and other blocks built to the original Crane Mk12 specification.

Features:

• MAX gas block length: 1.00
• MAX gas block height: 1.35

Forward Controls Gas Tube Pin Tool is also finished in an earth-green tone. This was done purposefully to provide contrast when working on a gas block, since most gas blocks are flat black. It also uses a small but powerful magnet to allow the gas tube pin to stand upright.

Forward Controls Design has a simple mission: make user-centric and purpose driven AR components with ergonomics as the primary feature. This is reflected in their practice of letting the shape of a design be driven entirely by function, which also creates an aesthetic part.
