Every gas-operated AR (those that don't use a piston system) uses a gas block of some type to cycle between shots. If you're building one of those old-school or retro style AR, yours may have a fixed front sight that doubles as the gas block or some similar fold-up variant. But if it's any number of countless newer designs, it'll probably have a gas block that serves only as the gas block. Plus, more often than not, it'll have a low-profile design, so that some type of handguard can slide over and around it to shield it. The handguard will have a length of pic rail on top on which you can then mount either a fixed or a folding sight to serve as the rifle's front sight. If you're in the latter group, this is your gas block. See below for more info.
