The LBE Unlimited MBUF002RED delivers reliable carbine-length buffer tube performance with distinctive red anodized finish for AR-15 platform builds. This mil-spec diameter tube provides the foundation for adjustable stock installations while maintaining proper bolt carrier cycling.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard black buffer tubes, this red anodized model offers enhanced corrosion resistance through Type III hard coat anodizing. The mil-spec 1.146" outer diameter ensures compatibility with genuine military specification stocks and components. Six indexed positions provide precise length of pull adjustments from 10.5" to 13.5", accommodating shooters of varying builds and gear configurations.
