Gas tube alignment Question

[cyclesteel]

How much force is needed to bend the gas tube to align perfectly with the carrier key?

Currently I am running a DD Omega-X rail on the gun so there is nothing between the FSB and the Receiver it is a straight run. The gas tube is being pressed against the left side (could be the right I am at work right now) clover leaf hole in the receiver.

I had this issue before the rail was installed also the key was moving the gas tube when I did the alignment test. I think my FSB might be slightly canted but I am not sure. Last time I was at the range I had 10 clicks to the left to zero at 25 yards (pre rail install)

I tried tweaking the gas tube above the barrel and inside the receiver but the alignment never changed. Maybe I was not using enough force? Should I remove the tube bend it and reinstall it. ?

Generally you can use a flat tip screw driver and get the correct alignment. It usually doesn't take alot.
