NY Compliant Gas Lock for Springfield Armory SOCOM-16

The SOCOM-16 gas lock made by Smith Enterprise Inc is a drop-in replacement for the factory gas lock on the SOCOM 16 rifle. It includes a dovetail front sight base and instead of threads or a muzzle brake it is simply a clean muzzle end that is New York Compliant. This part is billet machined from 8620 of stressproof steel by SEI which is machined to exacting tolerances and then heat treated for durability under extreme use. It has a mil-spec parkarized finish. This is also a great solution if you want the shortest possible SOCOM-16 rifle and don't want the blast of a muzzle brake.

The front sight base on this gas lock is higher than on the factory SOCOM 16 gas lock, which allows the use of standard M1A and M14 front sights to include standard mil-spec sights, night sights and National Match front sights. Factory XS sights that come on the SOCOM-16 are too tall for use with this front sight base and will cause your rounds to impact low. Also works well with the SEI SOCOM-16 gas plug.

This part is machined to exacting tolerances in order to fit very tightly and securely on your SOCOM-16 for the ultimate rock solid assembly.

* Please note that the SOCOM-16 has very fine barrel threads and due to tolerance variations can sometimes be very tight. Please lubricate threads and take it slow when first installing.
