| Can you remove the gas tube once this system is in place? |
|
Well, the gas tubes are pretty stiff to remove on all my rifles. I stopped when I realized this was tougher than normal. I just wouldn't have though the rail system would need to be removed to take off the gas tube. Thats a pretty routine function for me when cleaning my rifles.
I'm sure thats what makes it stable just wish I would have come here first.

I can't recall without looking at it. Did you also have the piston still installed when trying to remove the gas tube? This is a pretty common oversight, and has created a lot of "stuck tubes". |

The rail system doesnt cover the lever. The piston was removed. The upper rail system screws into a mount thats screwed into the lower rail system. (I think, I haven't taken then lower system apart yet.) |
