My guess is KISS, keep it stupid simple. I have fired all sorts of different ammo from my basic AR-10 and never had a need to adjust the gas. In a battle rifle you want to keep anything that could stop the rifle from functioning out of the mix. I would bet that you start seeing them offer more goodies like adjustable gas blocks in the near future, they have to catch up to the market!

I figured something would be changing since many states now are permitting the use of suppressors for hunting to save hearing. I'm interested in adding suppressors to my hunting rifles, but I don't have an adjustable gas block -- yet.

Thanks. I don't know much about suppressors. Do they have to be attached to the front of the barrel which lengthens the barrel about 7 inches or can they be a barrel shroud?
I'd like to avoid the barrel being lengthened significantly like many suppressors I've seen. I'd like one that is a combination fore end and suppressor (shroud), so it only lengthens the barrel a couple of inches max. Do they make such a thing?

I'd suggest using Rocksett thread locker. It holds up to high temperatures better, and lets you adjusted later with more ease. That's the advice I got on this forum anyway. I can't remember who told me about it though.
