Premium Materials for Professional Performance
The LBE Unlimited ARLPGB is crafted from 4142 chrome-moly steel, known for its strength, heat resistance, and long service life. The black nitride finish adds an additional layer of hardness and corrosion protection while giving the part a smooth, low-friction surface that resists fouling and wear. This combination of material and finish ensures that your gas block performs flawlessly even under high round counts and extreme conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
Model: ARLPGB
UPC: 765857617749
Platform: AR-15 / M4 / M16 pattern rifles
Material: 4142 hardened steel — tough and heat-resistant for high-performance use
Finish: Black nitride — offers superior corrosion resistance, reduced friction, and a matte tactical appearance
Profile: Low profile — fits neatly under most free-float handguards
Bore Diameter: .750" — fits barrels with .750” gas journal diameter (standard on most AR-15 barrels)

Designed for Reliability & Function
This gas block provides a secure, leak-free interface between your barrel and gas system, maintaining consistent backpressure for smooth cycling and reliable bolt operation. The precision-drilled gas port and tight tolerances ensure minimal gas leakage and optimal efficiency in your AR-15’s direct impingement system.
Its low-profile design allows easy installation under free-float handguards, enabling you to use longer handguards for improved ergonomics and accessory mounting without interfering with the gas system.
Installation & Fitment
Gas Journal Size: .750" (measure your barrel before purchase to confirm compatibility).
Mounting Type: Dual set screws (use high-temp thread locker or dimpling for best retention).
Tools Required: Allen wrench, punch set, torque driver, and armorer’s wrench for handguard removal.
Installation Tips:
Align the gas port on the block precisely over the barrel’s gas port.
Verify correct gas tube alignment with the upper receiver and gas key.
Secure using the provided set screws and ensure proper torque.
For best results, use a dimpled barrel or install a gas block dimple jig to prevent movement under recoil.
Confirm rifle function and cycling after live-fire testing.
Note: If you are unfamiliar with gas system installation, seek help from a qualified gunsmith to ensure proper alignment and safe operation.
Why Choose Black Nitride Finish?
The black nitride finish used on the LBE Unlimited ARLPGB offers multiple performance benefits:
Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Protects the steel against oxidation, carbon fouling, and environmental wear.
Improved Lubricity: Reduces carbon adhesion, making cleaning faster and easier.
Extended Service Life: Hardens the surface to resist wear from heat and friction.
Matte Tactical Look: Matches the finish of modern AR-15 components for a clean, professional appearance.
Ideal Applications
Custom AR-15 Builds: Perfect for free-float handguard builds where a low-profile gas block is required.
Duty & Defense Rifles: Durable construction for extreme reliability in professional applications.
Competition Guns: Stable gas delivery supports consistent cycling and recoil management.
Range & Training Rifles: Easy to install, clean, and maintain for long-term dependability.
Maintenance & Care
Keep your gas block clean and functional by regularly inspecting it for carbon buildup, gas leakage, and set screw tension. Clean gas passages with solvent and a small brush during barrel maintenance. Ensure screws remain tight and reapply thread locker as needed after extended use.
