Bought a cnetury AR-15.
Took it to the range and had no problems, groups well.
I was home a few days after the range and noticed the gas tube is bent and the bolt will not go forward. The bolt carrier is striking the gas tube. Looking at the gas tube it is clearly bent.
I see I can buy a mil spec gas tube from brownells for 9 bucks.
It looks easier to replace, just one pin.
Is there anything else to know before I replace the part? Any little secrets or is it as easy as it looks?
Thanks.
