[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My pigtail gastube BROKE! (help req)NOW WITH PIC

Posted: 1/1/2006 9:43:22 AM EDT

In the process of shooting my 6,5" barreled olyarms ar today, the pigtail gas tube ruptured at the gasblock base..DAMN!

Is there any place where I can find the darn tube or another gas tube for a 6,5 barrel?

The problem is that I live in the darned Italy, trying to find a tube here is IMPOSSIBLE..

Argh..

Now, I have my ar inoperable, and tu sum insult to injury I must find someone that is willing to ship internationally the gas tube anyone have any info?

Thanks guys, I'm desperate!

that's the photo..

Check www.brownells.com

Their prices aren't always the best, but they have a TON of stuff and I'd bet that they ship internationally. Good luck!

I am also not sure if you can get one sent to you as it is a gun part. I am not privvy to the rules but a lot of people won't mail parts overseas. Let us know if you can get one. I know my comments are not of any help to you but good luck!

Its under $100, I thought that allowed it... I'm probably wrong. You may want to contact OA and see about replacement.

Gun parts require prior approval from the State Department before it can be shipped out of the U.S. Price is not an issue; permission is required even if it's one cent.

Find someone with a bender and a regular gas tube can be turned into a pig tail.
