dust feeder 2 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm looking at converting my saiga (7.62x39) gas tube to a traditional ak gas tube with the upper hand guard. Are they the same length? I know the saiga has the 90 degree gas block vs the 45 degree ak block. Do i need any specific models gas tube? Are there any that won't fit?

The traditional AK gas tube works with no mods. Had it changed on my 7.62, .223, and 308. Not a single problem since the change over. my guy who did it said he just had to do a lil dremel work.

CasualGT 0 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Just finished mine last week. It will fit but you will need to dremel down the end that attaches to the front. Took me about 30 mins to get mine to fit. Just go slow and look where you making contact. I had a tread about this and there are some good pictures in there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
