I don't have a book with me right now but I believe it states right in
the
description of gas-vents (at least in the SR II book) that gas-vents
can
not be un-installed once installed.

Something I'm wondering here. Gas Vent systems and silencers are
completely opposite in the way they treat compressed air, right? The
silencer using the compressed air to muffle the shot, and the gas vent
using the air to handle recoil, or something like that? So how the
heck can the Ranger Arms sniper rifle have a combined silencer/gas
vent-II?
