Abstract:
A firearm including a barrel, receiver, indirect gas system and an adjustable gas block designed to interface with the indirect gas system is provided. Four indexable positions of adjustment are provided for on the adjustable gas block. Positions of adjustment are selected based on the use of a silencer, use of under-powered ammunition, the presence of un-burnt powder and debris in the host firearms operating system, or if the weapon is being fired under “ideal” circumstances. The provided gas block is designed to function with an indirect gas operating system. Excess gas from the operating system is not vented from the gas block thereby generating excess flash and sound. No tool is required to manipulate the adjustment mechanism of the gas.

Claim (Index 9):
An adjustable gas block for an indirect gas operated firearm, wherein the adjustable gas block comprises:\n a nozzle comprising a forward end, middle portion and back end, and wherein said nozzle comprises a plurality of ports spaced about a middle portion of the nozzle, and wherein each of said plurality of ports can be selectively placed into communication with a barrel gas port of said firearm; a gas block housing having a barrel receiving channel, and a cylindrical bore with a port, wherein said cylindrical bore receives said gas nozzle, and wherein said gas block housing comprises a groove formed therein to receive a rotatable knob, said groove running transverse to an axis of a barrel of said firearm and between a forward end of said cylindrical bore and a generally planar, rearwardly facing portion of said gas block housing; and a rotatable knob that receives and rotates the nozzle within said cylindrical bore, and said knob is removably retained by a spring loaded detent and ball, and said spring and detent work in conjunction with a series of notches present on said knob to prevent unintentional rotation of said knob, and said spring provides a force to said ball which interacts with said notches.
