The Faxon Firearms ARGASTUBEMID gas tube delivers consistent gas pressure regulation for mid-length AR-15 builds, engineered from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. This precision-manufactured component ensures reliable cycling across various ammunition types and environmental conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard carbon steel gas tubes that can corrode over time, this stainless steel construction resists fouling buildup and maintains dimensional stability under high-temperature cycling. The mid-length gas system provides smoother recoil impulse compared to carbine-length systems while offering better reliability than rifle-length configurations. Manufactured to mil-spec dimensions with tight tolerances for consistent gas port alignment.
Key Features
- 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and carbon fouling
- Mid-length specification (9.5-inch gas system length)
- Mil-spec .750-inch diameter gas block compatibility
- Precision-formed tube maintains proper gas port alignment
- Heat-treated for dimensional stability under rapid fire
- Compatible with all standard AR-15 mid-length barrel assemblies
- Nitride-finished gas port end for enhanced durability
This gas tube performs consistently across temperature extremes from -40°F to 160°F, making it suitable for competitive shooting, duty applications, and hunting scenarios. The stainless steel material maintains gas flow characteristics even after thousands of rounds, while the mid-length system reduces bolt carrier velocity for smoother cycling and reduced wear on internal components.
