removing gas tube
Is the gas tube a right or left hand thread? Where can I get a spanner wrench to unscrew it. Thanks

It is right hand thread. There is a little roll pin to drive out first, it is hidden under the gas regulator. The tube should not come out too hard, but if needed DSA has a multipurpose tool that you should have anyway.

I am finishing up a g1, and all my roll pins are pretty loose under the regulator, not quite throwing a hot dog down a hallway, but definitely just touching the sides. I still haven't switched out the gas tube to see if that will tighten it up, any other possible fixes? Prolly gonna spluge a lil loctite in whichever tube i decide on...
