Reminds me of something from Yankee Hill. Maybe it's VLTOR? Gun seems to be a VLTOR shop gun.

That gun is the VLTOR VIS (drop in upper); the gas block is theirs.

That's what I thought it might be... a VLTOR piece, but I wasn't able to find any product information about the gas block itself, and it doesn't seem like it comes with any particular kits... is it a pre-production piece?

No it's just one of their gas blocks (but now that you mentioned it, I saw it's nowhere on their website)

Here it is elsewhere:

And if you actually pay the $200+ for it for airsoft use, I will hate you Forever +1 day (unless you get me one too; then I'd be your best friend forever +1 day :P )

JESUS THAT PRICE MAKES ME WANT TO BARF!

But thanks for the links, Drake. Now I have a better idea of what to look for.

That what Chinese clone manufacturing is for. If there's enough demand, someone in mainland China would buy one, reverse engineer it to fit airsoft, and then mass produce them for pennies on the dollar.

Resurrected for update!

Now that I don't need it anymore, looks like they finally knocked this off.

Hopefully someone else will start making MURs (or complete VIS1 uppers) again.
