Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Loose gas tube...

Well on the reciever side the gas tube on my AR has some play in it. Is this normal or will it cause leaks (Like I think it will?) The fsb is very solid. I installed the mid-length gas tube along with a new barrel and Larue FF tube if that helps.

If it functions when you pull the trigger with a live round in the chamber, dont worry about it.

It is, in essence, floating in the receiver.  The receiver opening, the "cloverleaf" positions it correctly, but if installed properly, it should just float through that cloverleaf hole and into the receiver, with little force applied on it from anything.
