Well I'm 99% sure that the top rail will fit on the gas tube. It seems to go over top of it. But that 1% chance, I don't want to be without a top handguard. I thought about cutting it, but I don't really want to risk it.

try letting WD-40 soak on it for about an hour, get a pair of channel locks and wrap some tape around the front portion of the gas tube to protect it, put on some thick gloves, grab the tube snug with the channel locks and twist like a mofo with your other hand on the handguard.
if that doesnt work...cut it. a handguard is cheaper than a gas tube.

Yeah, it surely is cheaper. Gas tube is $25-$40.

what kind of tools do you have access to? a table vise, by chance?

I have a pair of vice grips. I don't have a workshop, yet, since I live in an apartment.

gotcha. then what i mentioned before will be your best bet to twisting it off. you can also, this sounds odd, but if it is a wood grip try putting it in the freezer for a few hours...this should cause the wood to shrink slightly.

It's polymer, so I boiled water, and poured water on it, and let it sit for a while, thinking it would expand it. Didn't work. It moved a little bit, but it feels like it's hooked in or something. 922r laws maybe?

na, their just absolute bitches sometimes...remember though, someone had to get it on there, so if they got it on you can get it off. you dont really want it to expand, that is just going to make life harder for you.
just an offer to consider...if you are willing to drive a bit you can come down to my place and i will help you get everything taken care of. while you're here if you want some trigger work, BCG/Bolt polished and stuff like that then i can do that for you...no charge or anything

Yeah, if it's polymer freezing it might not help. I'll just cut the damn thing. lol

Where is the cheapest place to get an AK sling these days? I remember seeing one for like 5 bucks somewhere but I can't remember where it was.
