Armed Eye Doc Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 My buddy bought a gun shop and this pigtail gas tube was in the shop. I can tell that it goes on a pistol length gas system and extends the length of travel of the gas. But I don't know why. I don't have any AR pistols so have no experience. So, I thought I would ask here if it is something worthwhile and has a true purpose. Or if it is complicated shiit that will complicate shiit.

jim3326 Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 That is interesting. My best guess would be to reduce the kick, but I would think an adjustable block would do the same. Beats my 2 pair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 That was designed for the pistols to make the gas tube carbine length. That should slow down unlock etc. Not sure it actually worked but that's the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
