The gas block that protrudes from the barrel is slightly off-center on my AK. While that normally wouldn't bother me, it makes the top hand-guard not flush with the bottom hand guard (it also doesn't help that the gas tube hole is drilled slightly off center as well). Is there a way to twist the piece of metal that's attached to the barrel? I see two pins on the bottom but I haven't been able to push them out. And trying to realign using a rubber mallet have also been ineffective (I'm too afraid to hit it hard and end up either twisting the entire barrel or bending it). Any suggestions? Or should I just take this to a gunsmith? Also, I realize this doesn't affect the gun in any functional way. It's simply aesthetic. And no, I didn't notice any of this when I was buying it. This is my first AK-47. Photos: http://host265.ipowerweb.com/~gurugame/ak1.jpg http://host265.ipowerweb.com/~gurugame/ak2.jpg |
