The Strike Industries AR Pistol Buffer Tube delivers enhanced durability and distinctive styling for AR-15 pistol builds. This red anodized aluminum extension tube provides the structural foundation for pistol brace installations while maintaining mil-spec threading compatibility.
What Makes This Different
This buffer tube features Strike Industries' proprietary anodizing process that creates a harder surface finish compared to standard Type III anodizing. The red coloring penetrates deeper into the aluminum substrate, providing superior wear resistance and color retention. Unlike basic extension tubes, this unit incorporates anti-rotation features and improved thread tolerances for secure component fitment.
Key Features
- 7075-T6 aluminum construction with red Type III hard anodizing
- Mil-spec threading (1.14" x 16 TPI) ensures universal compatibility
- 6-position adjustment notches for precise length of pull customization
- Anti-rotation tabs prevent buffer tube movement during operation
- QD sling swivel socket integrated into rear cap design
- Compatible with all mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers
- Designed specifically for pistol brace mounting applications
Field testing demonstrates consistent lockup with various pistol brace manufacturers including SB Tactical, Gear Head Works, and Maxim Defense systems. The hard anodized finish resists scratches from repeated brace adjustments and maintains color integrity through extended use. Competition shooters report reliable function through rapid-fire strings without loosening or shifting.
