Tapco TAP22058 Buffer Tube Kit Black 6-Position AR-15 Platform

The Tapco TAP22058 Buffer Tube Kit delivers reliable cycling performance for AR-15 platform builds and upgrades. This complete buffer system ensures consistent bolt carrier group operation across various ammunition types and shooting conditions.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic buffer tubes that may cause cycling issues, this kit includes precision-manufactured components designed to work together seamlessly. The mil-spec diameter tube accommodates standard carbine stocks while maintaining proper headspace alignment. Each component undergoes quality control testing to ensure dimensional accuracy within tight tolerances.

Key Features

• Complete 6-position buffer tube assembly with castle nut and end plate
• Carbine-length buffer spring rated for 5,000+ compression cycles
• Standard weight buffer optimized for 5.56/.223 cartridges
• Mil-spec 1.14" outer diameter fits all standard carbine stocks
• Hardcoat anodized aluminum construction resists wear and corrosion
• Pre-drilled holes for positive stock positioning and retention
• Compatible with all AR-15 lower receivers and carbine stocks

Field testing demonstrates consistent ejection patterns and reliable feeding across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F. The buffer spring maintains proper tension through extended firing sessions, reducing bolt bounce and improving accuracy. Law enforcement agencies report zero malfunctions during qualification courses using this buffer system.
