I've got a Bulgarian -74 kit inbound that is missing the gas tube. I've been watching the EE here and also on AKforum for a couple weeks now, and no one has had any Bulgarian gas tubes come up for sale. Is it possible to substitute other makes? Or even AK-47 tubes? Not sure if they are the same size or not.



I see KVAR seems to have them for $40-$50 but I was thinking I should be able to find a used one for around $20.

Yes, you can use an AKM or even a 47 tube if you don't mind the extra holes. You will probably have to do a little sanding on the bottom to clear the lower handguard retainer.
