Thanks for looking as always.  To get to the point I need to replace a gas tube on a BCM midlength.  Long story short I bent it.  Are all midlength gas tubes built to the same spec or what brands will work?  The reason I ask is because I can't find a BCM branded tube in stock.  Thanks for the help.

Any midlength tube should work.

I've straightened bent gas tubes (horribly bent gas tubes) before and went on to shoot thousands of rounds without malfunction.

I think Armalite and KAC had different length mid tubes at one point.  Just order a WOA Middy gas tube from ADCO.

Why not ask on the Bravo forum, Steve (or Paul ?)could answer your question better than anyone.

Good luck. Gotta get it runnin' again!

I'm still not sure what I did wrong on the initial installation of the LaRue rail.  Ive installed the rail on 6 different guns and for some reason this one didn't turn out right.   Long story short the rail could rotate slightly to the left and right.  I didn't think that was possible with this design.  Anyways when I was in the process of taking off the rail to reinstall it the rail turned and bent the gas tube.  Well I reinstalled the rail and everything looks great, I just need a gas tube to finish the job and get her running again.
