AR15 Gas Tube question

**prospero1919** · January 25th, 2011, 01:25 PM

Hey guys,

I just took my Sabre Defence M4 to the range for the first time - zeroed fairly easily and had a great time puttin about 120 rds thru her. When I got home and was cleaning the receiver - I noticed that there was a bit of loosness/wiggle in the gas tube where it extends inside the receiver - is this something to be concerned about ?

Thanks,

Mike

This is normal. The front of the tube is held in place by a roll pin, but the rear just extends through a hole, so a little play is normal.

enjoy your rifle and safe shooting!

You cleaned it after only 120 rounds?

Was that just a familiarization ritual?
