[QUOTE="0352Marine, post: 1119401, member: 10341"] I have an sks and bought a tapco stock everything went on ok except for the gas tube hand guard. I can't seem to the old one off. The rivet on both sides is filed flat and I can't tell which side is smaller to knock the rivet out. I even had it in vice with the other end supported trying to knock the rivet out with a punch and no luck. I was thinking about using heat but it's a wood hand guard so that's a no go. Maybe drilling it, but thought I would get on here to see if anybody has a better idea or if I should just take it to a gunsmith so as to not mess up the wooden hand guard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh I also called H&H they said if it was an easy fix it would be $35 if it was harder it would be $55 the only problem with this is I can buy a new gas tube with the stock already on it for about $42 minus shipping [/QUOTE]
