Overview
The Midwest AK Railed Gas Tube replaces the factory gas tube on a standard AK and adds a mil-spec top rail ahead of the receiver. Its internal profile matches the standard AK tube, and Midwest says it sets an Aimpoint Micro-class red dot in a lower 1/3 co-witness with the factory sights.
Installation is more involved than a side mount: the tube is leveled with rear screws until its lock latch closes with no rail movement, every screw gets thread locker, and the assembly cures for at least four hours. Midwest recommends a qualified gunsmith. It weighs 5 ounces and is built from 6061 aluminum and 4140 steel.
