RSkibinski 10 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I'm looking at doing the front end conversion on my IZ 240. I was wondering if anybody had a recommendation of which gas tube to go with. I'm considering the one made by Izhmash for $40, but have noticed there are cheaper ones. What will be the easiest? Also, should I go vented or non-vented? Any advice would be a big help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I went with the one K-VAR sells, but I wanted a standard tube and a Russian one. YMMV. And if your gas block is vented or going to be, theres really no reason to have a vented tube, unless you want it. I dont see you gaining much of anything having both vented other than a slightly cleaner tube, if that even. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RSkibinski 10 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks man. So now I'm trying to decide between the Izhmash gas tube and Dinzag's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Just preference. On my .223, the Russian tube was a direct replacement with no mods needed. Never used the Dinzag so cant comment. I always go for Russian parts when I can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RSkibinski 10 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Just received my Izhmash gas tube I ordered from Midway, and it fits perfect without any modification. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
