Do anybody know where can I buy 4 Ruger Gas Block Screw Ruger Mini-14, ?

 

[BWayne]

I got some from Brownell's a while back.

Midway, also. $2 each:

Stainless:
Ruger Gas Block Screw Ruger Mini-14 Mini-30 SS

Blue:
Ruger Gas Block Screw Ruger Mini-14 Mini-30 Blue

You'll want to add on some other stuff; Midway charges a "small order fee" for anything under $25.

Gas Block Tools

I have a 1/4" torque wrench with a 1/4" square stud to attach sockets. I also have a 9/64 allen wrench. How do I use these tools (combine them) to loosen and retorque my gas block?

Getting the gas block bolts out isn't the issue -- that can be done with your 'L-shaped' Allen wrench. Just go slowly, backing the bolts out 1/4 turn, tightening back down 1/8 turn until they're out. This will help keep the staked part of the bolt from boogering up the threads in the top half of the gas block.

As for torquing the new bolts, you're gonna need either a 1/4" drive, 9/64" Allen socket (like this one), or a 9/64" Allen bit (hex on the back end) with a 1/4" drive-to-hex-bit adapter. You'll probably also need at least a 2" extension to give you enough room to work.

Be sure your torque wrench reads in INCH-lbs., and that it will adjust to 30-35 in-lbs.
