Gas tube port problem

[Tragedy]

I recieved my gas tube and low pro gas block recently and when I assembled them together I noticed the port in the tube is forward of the port in the gas block by about a 16th ... the gas block actually covers part of the tubes port hole. Is this going to cause probelms or is this normal?

Do you have the gas tube roll pin installed? Does the hole for the roll pin line up? You might just need to pull it rearward because you have inserted it too far.

Also, what type of gas block and where did you get the tube?

This is assembled so yes the port holes are off. I purchased both from Canadian Tactical Cowboy Supply, no manufacturers name so I dont know, if I had to guess I would say the block is S&J Hardware as it cost the same as theres and it appears to be identical. No info about the tube other than its a midlength.

you really need the barrel and upper to align everything.

If your roll pin is installed in that pic, then there's something wrong. The gas holes should line up when the roll pin is installed... At least mine does anyway...

 

[Tragedy]

thanks, thats what I thought, and yes the pin is installed.

Hey Tragedy. Send me a PM or email and we'll rectify the situation for you.

That looks like an S&J gas block. We deal with two, VLTOR and S&J. The gas tube is DPMS.
