The LBE Unlimited PBTRED Pistol Buffer Tube delivers reliable cycling and enhanced aesthetics for AR-platform pistol builds. This mil-spec buffer tube provides the foundation for stable pistol configurations while adding a distinctive red anodized finish that stands out at the range.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard black buffer tubes, the PBTRED features a durable red Type III hard anodized finish that resists wear and corrosion. The mil-spec threading and dimensions ensure compatibility with standard AR-15 lower receivers and pistol braces. This buffer tube maintains proper bolt carrier group timing while providing the structural integrity required for reliable semi-automatic operation.
Key Features
- Mil-spec 1.14" x 16 TPI threading for universal AR-15 compatibility
- Type III hard anodized red finish for durability and visual appeal
- 6061-T6 aluminum construction provides strength without excess weight
- Proper internal dimensions for standard carbine buffer and spring systems
- Castle nut threads machined to precise tolerances
- Compatible with pistol stabilizing braces and end plates
- Drain hole prevents moisture accumulation during field use
The PBTRED maintains consistent cycling across various ammunition weights and powder charges. Competition shooters appreciate the reliable function during rapid-fire strings, while the corrosion-resistant finish handles humid conditions and saltwater environments. The precise machining ensures proper headspace and timing for accurate shot placement.
