I am going to set back one of my AR-15s. It has a rifle length gas tube on it now.
What are my options for making the gas tube shorter. I don't know of any way to make a new "collar" for the rear, so the only place seems to be the front.
1. The front has a plug that is crimped in place. Do I cut off the excess, and try to re-crimp the plug in place and then re-drill the hole in the right place?
2. Try to bend an "S" in the tube (without kinking) between the gas block and the receiver? I have done this already and it's not as easy as it sounds.
3. Other options?
Thanks.
