Did this for a hogue free float tube. Drill a hole in a small piece of 2x4 about the size of the tube. Stick the tube through the hole and bend gently.

Go to the hardware store and go to the yellow boxes with the nuts and bolts collection.
Find the box with the springs and select a spring with an internal diameter the same size as the gas tubes od. Insert tube and bend kink free. |

Get a cheap hand held tubing bender. Harbor Freight, Northern Tool, Etc.
tube bender Tape one end of the tube closed and fill with water. Put it in the freezer until the water is frozen solid and bend to shape. The ice will keep the tube completely open and un-kinked. Thaw it, dry it out and viola' one proprietary Mossberg gas tube. On a side note, I think its kind of BS that Mossy won't sell you a gas tube. They want you to buy a new rifle every time a part needs replacing? |

Take the tube to a reputable auto mechanic. We bend brake, fuel and transmission lines all the time if you live in the northeast where they constantly rust out. If you live in a dry climate you might as well just try it yourself as you will have the same experience as most technicians.
