Spikes Tactical SLA500R 6-Position Mil-Spec Buffer Tube Black

The Spikes Tactical SLA500R buffer tube delivers reliable carbine stock positioning with precise mil-spec dimensions and hardcoat anodized finish. This 6-position buffer tube maintains consistent lockup across multiple stock positions while resisting wear from extended use.

What Makes This Different

Unlike commercial buffer tubes with varying tolerances, the SLA500R maintains strict mil-spec dimensions for guaranteed compatibility with military and commercial stocks. The hardcoat anodized aluminum construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard anodizing, while precision-machined positioning notches ensure positive stock engagement. Internal threading meets exact military specifications for reliable buffer and spring retention.

Key Features

• Mil-spec 1.146" outer diameter ensures universal stock compatibility
• Hardcoat anodized aluminum construction resists scratches and corrosion
• Six precisely machined position notches for repeatable stock placement
• Internal threading matches military specification for buffer systems
• Integrated sling mount provision accommodates standard QD cups
• Machined aluminum construction weighs approximately 3.2 ounces
• Compatible with all mil-spec carbine stocks and buffer assemblies

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -40°F to 160°F without binding or tolerance shifts. The hardcoat finish maintains appearance through thousands of stock adjustments, while the precision machining eliminates the play common in lower-quality tubes. Competition shooters rely on this buffer tube for rapid position changes, while duty users appreciate the corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
