Overview
The Strike Industries Carbine Length Pistol Buffer Tube is a Mil-Spec tube designed specifically for carbine setups, crafted from durable 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with a hardcoat anodized treatment for enhanced wear resistance. This assembly consists of the tube only, which provides the necessary interface for the buffer assembly and stock attachment, ensuring reliable cycling and stability in your AR-15 platform. This buffer tube is often found in builds utilizing a mid-length gas system chambered in 5.56 NATO, making it a solid choice for those setups.
