Tapco TAP22069 AR-15 Gas Tube - Carbine Length Anodized Steel

The Tapco TAP22069 gas tube delivers reliable gas system operation for AR-15 platforms with its precision-engineered carbine-length design. This anodized steel component ensures consistent cycling and optimal pressure regulation in standard carbine gas systems. Built to military specifications, it maintains proper gas flow under demanding conditions while resisting corrosion and wear.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic gas tubes that may suffer from dimensional inconsistencies, the TAP22069 features precise bore diameter and length specifications that match military standards. The hard anodized finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard phosphate coatings. Quality control testing ensures each tube meets exact tolerances for reliable gas port alignment and consistent pressure delivery.

Key Features

• Carbine-length gas tube designed for 14.5" to 16" barrel configurations
• Hard anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion and heat buildup
• Precision-machined bore diameter maintains optimal gas pressure
• Standard .750" gas block compatibility for easy installation
• Mil-spec dimensions ensure proper fit with standard upper receivers
