gf1maint 0 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Is it normal for a 24" to only have 2 gas ports? I'm also missing my gas piston, which appears to be a somewhat normal occurance. It does appear to have plenty of room for additional holes though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does appear to have plenty of room for additional holes though. The 24" should have 4 ports. It might be that they misaligned them to the gas block and they are covered up. I also remember someone just saying about a week ago that they was missing the piston as well when they bought it new. Tromix has us made pistons for sale or RAA might send you one for free if you call them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you sure there isn't a third port hidden at the front edge of the opening in the gas block? Check it with a pick or small bent wire. +1 on that problem with missing pistons. WTF? Too much wodka at break time or what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I have seen 24" guns with both 3 and 4 ports. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
