I don't have one and need one, but they are nowhere to be found in my small town.

Anyone ever make a pin to hold the gas tube instead?

FSB uses taper pins.

My bad, you need a gas tube roll pin, hardware store.

you talking about the gas tube roll pin?  in a pinch you can get an assortment of roll pins in various sizes from home depot or harbor freight or something.  you'll need to shorten it, or not if its under a handguard.

tiny nail will hold it.  Just bend the pointy side so it don't fall out.

J-B  weld is the only answer.

Using the correct components is for suckers, evidently.

Pretty low stress component, a finishing nail should be a suitable temporary fix.
