concretus 0 Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hello, I just picked up an East German uper/lower handguard w/ gas tube. If I use the Dinzag bolt on handguard retainer, will the set fit on my S-.223? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

concretus 0 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I installed the E. German gas tub on my Saiga. I also took the spring off the rear of the stock tube to keep the new tube alittle snug. There's a slight gap (approx 1/16") where the rear of the tube mates up with the rear sight base. Is that going to effect the cycling function? Will it not provide the needed seal for cycling or is it nothing to be concerned about? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Your AK will cycle without a gas tube at all. Don't worry about the little gaps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MD_Willington 11 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yep East German gas tube works just fine on the S223. I have a brand spanking new one I use on mine sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
