[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3065519, member: 93138"] As the gas tube does not contact the nut near either of the bends, and without the nut in place it aligns perfectly I'm seriously doubting that the gas tube is the problem. The barrel nut deflects the gas tube into the top "tang" of the clover-leaf hole. I should mention that this happens when a [B]groove [/B]in the nut is aligned with the clover-leaf hole. Perhaps the issue is the CMMG upper having a tighter than usual clover-leaf opening? Even if that is the situation, the fact that without the nut in place the gas tube slides thru the clover-leaf hole and into the BCG's gas key with no drag tells me that the hole in the upper is OK. I'm test fitting with the tube already pinned into the Superlative AGB. If y'all need pics you're gonna make me clean the work bench. No way I'm showing a pic of it like it is now...... [/QUOTE]
