Tapco TAP22067 AR-15 Gas Tube - Carbine Length Anodized Aluminum

The Tapco TAP22067 gas tube delivers reliable gas system operation for AR-15 platform rifles with carbine-length gas systems. This anodized aluminum component ensures consistent cycling and proper bolt carrier group function across thousands of rounds.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard gas tubes that may suffer from corrosion or dimensional inconsistencies, this Tapco gas tube features hard anodized aluminum construction that resists fouling buildup and maintains precise internal dimensions. The anodized finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to uncoated steel alternatives while reducing weight. Manufacturing tolerances ensure proper alignment with gas blocks and bolt carrier groups for optimal gas pressure transfer.

Key Features

• Hard anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion and fouling accumulation
• Carbine-length specification fits 16-inch barrel configurations
• Precision-formed internal diameter maintains consistent gas flow
• Lightweight design reduces overall rifle weight compared to steel tubes
• Standard .750-inch gas block compatibility
• Mil-spec dimensions ensure drop-in installation
• Matte finish reduces glare and blends with most upper receivers

Field performance demonstrates reliable function across temperature extremes and extended firing sessions. The anodized surface maintains its protective properties through rapid-fire strings and adverse weather conditions. Competition shooters benefit from consistent gas pressure delivery that supports reliable extraction and ejection cycles. Law enforcement and military applications demand the corrosion resistance that anodized aluminum provides during extended deployments.
