Abstract
An adjustable gas block is used to regulate the flow rate of gas from a barrel to an action in a gas-operated firearm. The adjustable gas block uses a movable body with an opening having a width and length, the width of the opening varying in size as a function of its length. The movable body is transversely positioned relative to a conduit between the barrel and the action, such that movement of the body and its opening relative to the conduit serves to regulate the flow rate of gas between the barrel and the action.
