Gas Tube


1 - Gas Tube
2 - Guide ribs for gas piston
3 - Front joining collar
4 - Hand Guard
5 - Rear joining collar
6 - Lug

The gas tube directs the movement of the gas piston during shooting.  It has guide ribs which direct the piston.  The front end of the gas tube fits on the gas chamber.  The hand guard protects the rifleman's hands from burns when firing.  It has a channel in which it secures the metal semi-circular spacer that presses the hand guard away from the gas tube.  The hand guard is secured on the gas tube by front and rear joining collars; the rear collar has a lug in which the gas tube lock engages.


Hand Guard
Disassembly of the fore end - Grasp the rifle at the for end in the left hand .  With the right hand using a screwdriver rotate the fore end lock on half turn  forward.  Displace the connecting collar with fore end toward the gas chamber with the thumbs of both hands.   Press forward on the fore end and remove it from the barrel.
