Anybody make an adjustable pistol length gas tube?

Scoop I used a carbine length one and cut it off and reground the bell on the end of it. Straightened it and put it in the lathe using a drill blank as a pilot. I don't know of any supplier who sells them. tp555 makes the three position gas blocks that you cut off the tail end off the gas tube and fit it to the block.

Thanks pug! I'll check with tp555. Wonder if he makes one that fits the Noveske barrel. Mine will be here next week.

BTW, how did your modified tube work out? Are you able to get to it under the handguards? What setup are you using? I'm planning on a midlength DD rail with the 10.5 Noveske on my SBR lower.

You will have to check with him but mine fits a standard .750" barrel and has the lever on it so you can't put it under a handguard it has to set in front of it. He also makes one that doesn't have a lever you use a small wrench to switch it.

My tube worked out fine but was a little trouble to cut it down. It is the type Fulton sells which I think is Amforte or something like that. It must have handguards with holes in them because the gas valve is too tall to fit under a tube.
