Came across this picture which was causing an intense amount of debate and lowkey oneupsmanship by people on the prowl to show of their expertise in all things military who were also completely out of the loop on the gear they were talking about.

    A) That’s your gas block, without it you have a bolt action.

    B) That’s what the pic riser is for.

    C) yes you could replace the FSB with a modern gas block, but the barrel has been drilled for the FSB and I’d recommend changing the barrel too if you’re gonna do all that, and you’d wanna swap to a free float since the FSB also is part of what retains clamshells, so might as well throw the scope on a riser and call it a day. Might even be 1/3rd co-witness actually.

    I see nothing wrong with this setup, personally.
