The LBE Unlimited ARGTP Pistol Length Gas Tube is a straightforward replacement or upgrade component for AR-15 builds and repairs. Built from 304 stainless steel seamless tubing, this gas tube handles the critical job of directing expanding gases from the barrel back to the bolt carrier group—and it does it without rust or corrosion creep. If you're assembling a pistol-length AR, tuning a mid-length upper for a different barrel profile, or simply replacing a worn tube, this made-in-the-USA part delivers the reliability you need without the marketing noise.
Pistol-length gas systems are shorter and snappier than their rifle-length counterparts, which means tighter timing and faster cycling. That's ideal for short-barreled rifles, competition builds, and close-quarters platforms. The 304 stainless construction resists corrosion far better than standard steel, which matters if your gun sees hard use, moisture, or sits in a safe between range trips. A roll pin is included, so you have everything needed for installation.
LBE Unlimited's commitment to domestic manufacturing means you're supporting a US shop and getting parts built to consistent standards. No mystery sourcing, no last-minute substitutions. The engineering is straightforward—it has to be, because a gas tube either works or it doesn't. This one will.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between pistol-length and rifle-length gas tubes?
Pistol-length gas tubes are shorter, which accelerates the timing of your AR's gas system. This produces faster cycling and a snappier feel—useful for short-barreled rifles and competition shooting. Rifle-length tubes are longer and create a softer recoil impulse, preferred for full-length uppers.
Will this fit my AR-15 upper receiver?
This tube is designed for AR-15 pistol-length gas systems. Verify that your upper is configured for pistol-length before ordering; rifle-length uppers require a different tube.
Why 304 stainless steel?
304 stainless resists rust and corrosion far better than standard steel, which extends the life of the part and reduces maintenance in harsh or wet conditions.
What's included in the box?
The gas tube and a roll pin for attachment to the gas block are included. You'll need standard AR-15 assembly tools and knowledge to install it.
