I know the Tan Anodized Colt Buffer tube is not Clone correct, but i want to do it so bad.
Would you guys flame me for that OR approve it? OR Should i stick with the black buffer tube since everything else is clone correct right down to my Tan Gen 1 LMT Buttstock ? |

I have a question that may require a pic, but here goes.
I bought a surplus C marked stripped upper. When I took it to my gun smith he said the gas tube hole is off centered and appeared to have been enlarged. He felt like it could potentially cause reliability issues. I build out my own lowers but I haven’t built uppers so I’m clueless. Can the gas tube hole be to large/off centered cause issues? Thanks |

Thanks View Quote Usually, the port in the gas block is significantly larger than the port in the barrel so some misalignment isn't detrimental. You can plug one end of the barrel and blow into the other end of the barrel with the gas block installed. If you can easily pass air, you'll probably be alright. |

Yes, that’s the hole I’m referring to. My apologies for not posting a pic. I think my post count isn’t high enough yet? So, the gas tube hole on the upper I received is off centered with the “x” shape being almost worn into a circle. It’s much larger than my new uppers. The gas tube doesn’t make any contact. If that makes sense? My Gun Smith wouldn’t install it because he didn’t trust it. He felt like the hole had been drilled out in an attempt to “correct” some of the misalignment. For an update, the company I purchased it from is willing to exchange it for me. So that’s cool. |
