Quoted:
Gas tubes touch barrel nuts all the time on standard nuts. Not sure what your asking in the second question. The 2nd question refers to the orientation of the gasblock. The pin hole is off center. The only other gasblock I have installed was closed on one end of where the tube inserts. So, it obviously was open end toward the receiver. This gas block, is open bothe ends, so should the tube pin closer to the receiver or the end of the barrel. one or the other will make about a 1/2" of difference in how far the tube inserts into the receiver. I didn't take a pic before I left for work. If I'm still not making myself clear, I will take a pic in the AM and try this question again |

Thanks, I had it the other way. My gas tube would have been short, thanks to you guys I dodged a bullet...literally. |
