Anyone have, or know where to find the fake gas tube for an FR8? I'm in need of one and haven't been able to locate one as of yet.

Thanks in advance,
LIT

If you can't find one I'd try making one. That is assuming the lower portion of the front sight base which holds it is still intact.

The originals are just a tube that's threaded on the end for the bayonet lug. Perhaps you could get a proper sized tube and instead of trying to find a FR8 threaded lug just drill two small holes in the end (like the cetme tube) and use a cetme bayonet lug and spring retainer which should look very close.
