Daniel Defense parts always look right and this stainless gas tube is no exception. Polished finish is even, no tooling marks. The roll pin hole was a tight fit which is what you want, no slop. Cycles consistently on a mid length 16 inch build.
daniel defense mid length gas tube in stainless, properly bent and drilled. roll pin alignment was dead on against a DD barrel. stainless wont rust in humid storage. small upgrade but worth the few extra bucks
