The Aero Precision APRH101227C Enhanced Buffer Tube delivers superior strength and reliability for AR-15 and AR-10 builds through precision machining and military-grade materials. This carbine-length buffer tube features 7075-T6 aluminum construction with a durable black anodized finish that resists wear and corrosion.
What Makes This Different
The enhanced design incorporates tighter dimensional tolerances than standard buffer tubes, reducing play between components for improved consistency. Aero Precision machines each tube from a single piece of 7075-T6 aluminum rather than using drawn tubing, eliminating potential weak points. The proprietary thread pitch and castle nut interface provide 15% more engagement surface area compared to mil-spec alternatives.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 aluminum construction for maximum strength-to-weight ratio
- Type III hard coat anodized finish resists scratches and corrosion
- Six-position carbine length with standard mil-spec threading
- Compatible with all AR-15 and AR-10 lower receivers
- Precision-machined buffer tube threads eliminate binding
- Enhanced castle nut engagement surface for secure installation
- QD sling swivel mounting provisions integrated into design
Field testing demonstrates consistent lockup with various stock manufacturers including Magpul, BCM, and B5 Systems. The enhanced buffer tube maintains zero shift during rapid fire sequences and extreme temperature variations from -40°F to 160°F. Competition shooters report improved consistency in cheek weld and length of pull adjustments compared to standard mil-spec tubes.
