Overview
The Advanced Technology AR-15 Military Mil-Spec Buffer Tube Assembly Package is a complete parts kit designed to deliver reliable performance in your build. Its Mil-Spec buffer tube ensures compatibility with most AR-15 stocks and components, while the hardcoat anodized finish on the 6061-T6 aluminum provides durability and resistance to wear. This assembly is commonly found in mid-length gas system builds chambered in 5.56 NATO, making it a practical choice for standard configurations.

ATI sells this as a complete buffer tube kit with castle nut, end plate, spring, and buffer. Quality is on par with any other entry level kit. Buffer tube is properly anodized 6061 aluminum. Six positions click positively. Good way to spec out a basic build without sourcing individually.
