Got my new PSA GF5's new funiture kit today and when i installed it the gastube became quite loose, to the point the half moon vent holes become full circles even with old furniture. should i get a different tube or just run it and see what happens?

Same gas tube as before? I wouldn't expect a furniture swap to change the gas tube length...

That said, I'd just run it. The holes are just fro bleeding off excess gas anyways and don't affect function. Unless the gas tube falls off during firing and blocks the piston from returning forward.

Do PSA Gas Tubes use a Gas Tube Spring?

I would just shoot it.  From what I've seen and heard talked about, the piston already has full rearward movement before those holes even come into play, and the gas tube to FSB isn't a perfectly sealed connection.  I could be wrong, but it should be fine.  I've swapped differnet gas tubes onto different guns and never had any issues.
