AK Gas tube w/ retainer - compatibility ?

[alec.mc 180]

Ive got a Saiga 7.62, Just ordered KVAR handgaurd set, and the lower retaining bracket.

 

Im having a problem finding a gas tube that will fit my saiga that has the retainer bracket on it, the only ones I came across say they are 6" long , where as the stock tube on my saiga is about 7"

 

Any advice on where I can find one online ( instock ) and if they are mostly universal to the saiga, alot of the ones i pull up have exemptions on make

 

thanks

Yeh, I do all my ordering from CSS, but they are out of stock on this one.

 

 

AKM is differnt correct? looks to be the shorter one.

 

 

Looks like everybody is out of stock on this one, or my google-fu is weak

AKM is your standard "AK47"

 

AKM is saiga, wasr-10, SAR, arsenal, waffen werks, IO, etc

 

AK47 is T1, T2, and T3. Of those only the T3 is available and thats the typical milled reciever guns you see. T2 is also milled and T1 is stamped but not many made and they were all full auto. I have only seen one T1 semi auto ever built. Infact, thats the only T1 at all I have ever seen in private hands.
