The Strike Industries AR Pistol Buffer Tube delivers enhanced durability and distinctive styling for AR-15 pistol builds. This blue anodized aluminum component provides the structural foundation needed for reliable pistol brace attachment while maintaining mil-spec threading compatibility.
What Makes This Different
Strike Industries manufactures this buffer tube from 6061-T6 aluminum with a Type III hard anodized finish that exceeds standard mil-spec coatings. The blue anodizing process creates a wear-resistant surface that maintains color consistency under heavy use. Unlike basic phosphate-coated tubes, this aluminum construction reduces weight by approximately 15% while providing superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
