Timber Creek Outdoors AR Buffer Tube Mil-Spec FDE Cerakote Aluminum

The Timber Creek Outdoors ARBTFDE Buffer Tube delivers enhanced durability and corrosion resistance for AR-15 platform rifles through its premium Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish. This mil-spec buffer tube maintains proper carbine stock functionality while providing superior protection against environmental elements that can compromise standard anodized tubes.

What Makes This Different

Cerakote ceramic coating offers significantly better wear resistance compared to standard anodized aluminum buffer tubes. The coating penetrates surface pores and creates a harder, more durable finish that resists scratches, chemicals, and UV degradation. Testing shows Cerakote finishes maintain color consistency and protection through thousands of rounds and harsh environmental exposure.

Key Features

• Mil-spec 6061-T6 aluminum construction with precise internal dimensions
• Flat Dark Earth Cerakote ceramic coating for maximum durability
• Standard carbine threading (1.14" x 16 TPI) for stock compatibility
• Proper castle nut retention grooves and end plate channels
• QD sling swivel socket integrated into rear cap design
• Accepts all mil-spec carbine buffer springs and weights
• Compatible with adjustable and fixed carbine stocks

Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes and moisture conditions where standard finishes often fail. The buffer tube maintains proper headspace and timing relationships critical for reliable cycling. Competition shooters and tactical users report consistent function through extended firing schedules without finish degradation or dimensional changes.
