How to fix bent gas tube?

[Skukripion]

The gas tube part inside my upper receiver is slightly bent, it's scratching again the inside of carrier gas key. How can i fix this without sending it to a gunsmith or factory? Plastic tools?

Thanks Chunky


In all reality I would not attempt to straighten the tube, just replace it. They are not overly expensive, less than $20.00.
The real question is why did it bend? Loose/misaligned gas key? Barrel nut improperly aligned.
The bent tube is just a symptom.

It shoot very straights tho. I could have done it when i was installing KAC quad rail, but i really dont remember twisting anything.

The gas tube has nothing to do with how straight the rifle shoots.
Barrel nut alignment would be my guess.

Thanks for the infos guys. I took it to Rocky Mountain Shooters Supply the morning, I bought the gun from them. And they offered to have their gunsmith to put a new one in for me and check anything else.
I'm pretty happy with their reply, I recommend RMSS for those in the Northern Colorado, good sales men, the gunsmiths there are pretty helpful too.
