Rangedog Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Brownells has a gas tube with a small valve to adjust the amount of gas flow. My question is, can I use this on my AR-10? Are AR-15 and AR-10 gas tubes the same length and diameter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Armilite ,I think uses different lengths than a DPMS. If it reads its for Armilite, AR10 , it should work . DPMS type platforms use the same lengths & diameter as an AR 16/15, (carbine length or rifle length) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangedog Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks for the info. I ordered the adj. gas tube without doing enough research. I thought it would be better idea than an adj. gas block. I will know in 2 days if I need to send it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfalcon00 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Any updates on that adjustable gas tube? I have a rifle length build that is overgassed and was thinking of going this way instead of buying another gas block. I guess my question is would you buy again?

Rangedog Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 The gas tube was too short for my AR10. It should fit an AR10 OK. I would order it again if I had the rifle for it as I shoot reloads and factory bullets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangedog Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I intended to say that the gas tube should fit an AR15. Sorry for the typo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
