The LBE Unlimited ARGTP Gas Tube delivers consistent cycling performance for pistol-length AR-15 builds with premium 304 stainless steel construction. This precision-manufactured component ensures reliable gas flow regulation in compact configurations where standard tubes often fail.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard carbon steel gas tubes that corrode over time, the ARGTP features 304 stainless steel construction that resists corrosion and maintains dimensional stability through thousands of rounds. The precision-rolled tube maintains consistent internal diameter tolerances of +/- 0.002 inches, ensuring optimal gas pressure delivery. Heat treatment processes create a uniform grain structure that handles rapid temperature cycling without warping or cracking.
Key Features
- 304 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and heat damage
- Pistol-length configuration measures 6.75 inches overall
- 0.750-inch outside diameter fits standard low-profile gas blocks
- Precision-rolled manufacturing maintains consistent wall thickness
- Compatible with all mil-spec AR-15 upper receivers and gas blocks
- Heat-treated for dimensional stability under rapid fire conditions
- Machined gas port end ensures proper alignment and seal
Field testing demonstrates reliable cycling with both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington ammunition across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F. The stainless construction maintains gas flow consistency through extended firing sessions where carbon steel alternatives show degradation. Competition shooters report consistent bolt timing through high round count stages, while duty applications benefit from corrosion resistance in harsh environmental conditions.
