I am in the process of replacing the stock of my SKS with a Tapco Fusion stock and I have all but the gas tube hand guard in place. I have the plastic piece in place on the gas tube but I can't lower the locking lever by the rear sight. When I look at it it almost appears the gas tube isn't sitting low enough and the bar won't rotate into position but I can't get it any lower. It's the only thing preventing me from getting out and throwing lead down range. Any ideas?
