[ARCHIVED THREAD] - National Match Gas Tube?

Posted: 6/25/2024 2:08:46 PM EDT

Guys I have a National Match rifle gas tube. Can I use it on my rifle build I am doing or do I need to order a standard tube? I am using regular handguards.

I don't see why not. They begin and end in the same places, just the bend is in a different place.

The bend is nearer to gas block than a standard rifle gas tube to better fit the free float handguard

The bend is a only a couple inches behind the gas block to make room for a silly DCM tube.
