I bought this barrel from Stag Arms and can't figure out how to get the damn gas tube installed! I have assembled the barrel to receiver and tried to weasel the tube in from the back but the bend in the tube won't allow it to pass through the receiver.
link to barrel
I contacted Stag and asked about removing the front sight and they said they don't recommend it because the pins are pressed in.
has anybody actually bought this setup? if so how did you go about installing the gas tube!
thanks in advance for any HELP!!

PROBLEM RESOLVED!
many thanks to tech-hog23 and 44-40pro!!! I really appreciate the wise and experienced help you guys offered, it worked! I thought I had tried it but couldn't get it through the receiver but I may have had the bend in the wrong position. hopefully I will remember next time around.
