WTK - Hungarian Vs. Romanian Gas Tubes ??

Hello,

Need some input.
I am making a couple of hungarian clones.
I am using some romy and some hungarian parts.
But I am using romy gas tubes.

I have noticed that the hungarian gas tubes have four holes in them between the wood and the gas block on both sides.

The romy gas tubes are solid. Now, If I can find two hungarian gas tubes for my builds, then great! But if I cannot. Would there be any reason I could not just drill holes in the romy gas tubes???

Would this effect any thing as far as function??

Also is this is something that can be done, does anyone out there have a hugarian gas tube that can measure the holes and placements for me. Maybe take some pictures as well?

Thanks for any help.

Which Hungarian model?

I want to make a AMM/AK63f and an AMMS/AK63d.
I am also looking for some blonde upper and lower handguards for these builds.

Thanks

I have some handguards if you're interested. I sent you a PM.

Thank you Silverzippo93 I have replied.

I would assume that you have an AK47 type 1 gas block on the Hungarian models that you want to clone that would warrant the use of these gas tubes with the eight gas escape holes drilled through them,.....if not a type 1,.... then it would be a type 2 which are used with the AKM and later rifles,... and,... "by drilling these four per side gas escape holes",.....you would definitely have problems with gas piston and cycling operation by too much gas bleed-off. Remember,....AK47 type1 have the 8 gas escape holes(4 on each side of tube) and the AKM type2 have holes drilled through the rear flange of the type 3 gas block. Hope this info helps ya out a bit.
