The problem with set screw gas blocks is most people and even some companies install them incorrectly.
After aligning the gas block and tightening the set screws, the assembly should be removed and DIMPLES be put in the barrel at the location of the set screw marks on it. This helps resist a blow to the gas block putting it out of alignment. It will never be as foolproof as a pinned block, but this does greatly improve it.
