Is there anything i can do to make my ak 47 gas tube tighter?

Question

i bought railed handguard it is tight but my gas tube wobbles a little

Answer 1

Just leave it alone. As you fire the weapon it will heat up and the metal will expand,thus tightening up the tube.They most all are loose.

Answer 2

You might be able to shim it out with some very thin, small strips of metal. You could even try cutting a coke can into the right shape to fit around the end of the gas tube and press fit it into place.

I watched a gunsmith work on one of our rifles and he cut a can to use some small strips in the stock to shim it.

Answer 3

AKs are built to loose tolerances. The gas tube is designed to be removed easily for cleaning. You made a modification that the rifle was not designed for. I would suggest you make do with what you have.
