unforgiven Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 So it looks like 15 7/16" or 15 1/2" long in a straight line. Yay or nay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It's good, brother. You had your info right before - I was using your info to show the other guy that you were talking about rifle, and he was recommending (or talking about) midlength. Just wanted him to see what you were talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand So it arrived today and it measures about 121/8, see below. Its listed as a 308 gas tube mid length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 PSA owns it now, so lets see what it looks like installed in the gun. If it's correct, it should come to the very center of the cam pin cutout in the upper receiver, just like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightStalker Posted July 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Working on my build and time to install the gas block and tube. Put everything in place tried the charging handle and bcg and Houston we have a problem!!! BCG won’t go into battery and long story short pulled the gas block and tube, bcg locked right up. My conclusion the 121/8 gas tube is to long for my set up probably need an 11.75 AR15 gas tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Pics would help. Install gas block and tube w/o the BCG and take a picture looking up from the mag well. Where in the cam cutout does the gas block end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightStalker Posted July 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 It extends past the cut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 Yep that one is too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightStalker Posted July 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 I figure the 11.75 will work fine. I ordered one last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightStalker Posted July 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 So I get the new tube and slip it into place. The tube extends about half way across the notch in the upper so that’s about right , but touches the barrel nut. getting frustrated now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted July 9, 2022 Report Share Posted July 9, 2022 I wouldn't sweat that to much.. if the bcg works go with it. It might make some noise but doubt you will hear it under fire. I have made a slight bend in a gas tube before but that was a "if I fuckit up oh well, buy another" . The fix was perfect.
