The gas tube will float a little bit. Completely normal. The tip of the gas tube is slightly larger than the rest of the tube. The gas tube hole in the upper has to be large enough for the tip of the gas tube to pass through. Once inserted into the upper, there will be a little bit of play. Nothing to worry about though.

That makes perfect sense. I'm sure I never noticed in my other rifles. Thanks for taking the time.

To add, if there were not, the mushroomed tip would soon wear down and no-longer seal in the gas-key, which is also chamfered. You cannot have a carrier run reliably with no ''rattle''. It's not a 1911 slide. OP: if your gas tube did NOT have some play, it would be bad. |
