Public toilets?

I admit, walked right into that one. I should've known better; let me ask this question a different way:

So what advantage(s) or disadvantage(s) exists when one uses a vented Vs unvented gas-tube on a WASR AK? And my apologies in advance for bringing such a basic and mundane question to the great AK minds of SET, I shall grovel at your feet for wasting your time with such a plebeian question.

The idea of the vents is to keep all that gas and fouling out of the chamber area and the shooter face.

 

[AirOpsMgr]

Vented and non-vented is irrelevant, aside from the fact that non-vented tubes were designed to be used with vented gas-blocks it doesn’t matter and either will work with eachother and you won’t notice a difference nor will your AK either way.
922r is dumb AF and don’t worry about it
If you got a WASR any standard AKM variant tube will work fine

Appreciate the info, as for 922, was just curious if that was still "a thing" and if there had been any updates, really haven't followed along in the past 5 yrs.

Copy that, I was just wondering if it had any impact on function/bolt cycling

Yup, I finally got around to undoing the bubba-mall-ninja stuff that came from the previous owner and gave her some new wood a few weeks back but re-used a different gas tube at the time:

(Pis are minus cleaning tool rod, it's installed now, just forgot to put it back on before the pics)

Where's the toes?

 

[slapshut]

Running a non vented block and a non vented tube may sustain the pressure longer leading to excessive bolt carrier retraction. Similar to over gassed, but longer gassed is more correct.

Nah no impact. Some people believe the vent holes let debris and dirt/sand in and gather in front of the piston head

Gas pressure is dropping right when that bullet leaves the barrel

okay, so not the block it'self, but the tube ... as seen here:

Might keep yo gun slightly cleaner than a non-vented combo but negligible imo

Agreed, and I'm probably using the wrong nomenclature; I was speaking of the tube itself. Maybe I'm smoking crack, but I could have sworn that OE Tube didn't have the 3 vent holes - maybe I'm wrong. I have it in my head that the previous owner gave me a box of original spare parts (that I still can't find) and that tube didn't have vents, but who knows, maybe i'm misremembering.

please don’t apologize for a question that I have no idea how to answer

Meh, the new wood already set me back 2 hundo after shipping, so unless you're gonna make an offer clouded by drunkenness, (or I get drunk enough to take a lower offer), she'll end up sitting in the safe until I forget how much I spent to spuce her up

No you’re correct. If your gasblock is vented, you would run a non vented tube (to be “correct”) because venting is taking place in the gas block.

If your gas block did NOT have venting holes, it would use a vented gas tube to accommodate for venting

I went down the vented gas block/tube rabbit hole a few years ago. It was actually a whole gas tube rabbit hole for awhile but I’ve forgot about as much as I learned like which models are all different or how to modify some models tubes to work on other variants etc
