The Strike Industries AR Pistol Buffer Tube delivers enhanced stability and compliance for AR pistol builds. This precision-machined component provides the foundation for reliable cycling while maintaining the compact profile essential for pistol configurations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard buffer tubes, this Strike Industries unit features optimized internal dimensions that ensure consistent bolt carrier group travel. The proprietary anodizing process creates a surface that resists wear from repeated cycling while maintaining dimensional accuracy. Internal machining tolerances exceed mil-spec requirements, reducing play between components that can affect accuracy and reliability.
Key Features
- Precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum construction for strength and weight reduction
- Type III hard anodized finish resists corrosion and surface wear
- Mil-spec threading (1.14" x 16 TPI) ensures universal compatibility
- Internal buffer spring guide reduces friction and wear
- Slick sidewall design eliminates snag points
- QD sling mount provision for tactical applications
- Compatible with standard AR-15 lower receivers
Field performance demonstrates consistent function across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F. The enhanced surface finish maintains smooth operation even after extended firing sessions. Competition shooters report improved follow-up shot speed due to reduced bolt bounce, while duty applications benefit from the corrosion resistance during adverse weather exposure.
