bukowiec39 0 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hello I'm converting my 5.45 and for some unknown reason I have difficult time removing the gas tube. Lever is in proper position. Tube goes up a little but then I cannot even move it with a plastic mallet. Suggestions? Am I missing something here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Had to wiggle release lever back and forth while gently prying up from bottom with thin slat wood on one of mine, others were smooth. Also had a real hard time when I forgot to remove bolt carrier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RED333 1,025 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Did you remove the bolt carrier? The gas tube will not come out till it is out of the way. Dont ask how I know. This is the voice of "yea I did that before" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
