Forend install went great, 0 issues. The problem I'm having is the carrier and bolt do not want to go all the way into battery when I install the top handguard retainer gas tube onto the gun. It's almost as if the piston is being forced upward causing the tip to wedge itself somewhere in the gas tube and block. The original ak gas tube was required in order to be used with magpul's vented tube cover. The tube I already had in my possession. I was going to originally use it for for the 7.62 x39 saiga. I think I know what the problem is as evidenced by the pictures. There isn't enough room for the carrier to move through the gas tube unhindered (I think). I wanted to know yous guys's thoughts before I go using a dremel to cut away at the gas tube.
