Strike Industries AR Pistol Buffer Tube - Flat Dark Earth Aluminum

The Strike Industries AR Pistol Buffer Tube in Flat Dark Earth is a purpose-built receiver extension designed to maximize the performance and handling of short-barreled AR pistols and pistol-caliber carbines. At just over 5 inches in length, this buffer tube keeps your overall package compact without sacrificing the reliable cycling your build demands. Whether you're running a 300 Blackout, 9mm, or other AR pistol configuration, this tube delivers the function of a full-size system in a format that makes sense for close-quarters or vehicle-mounted setups.

Strike Industries engineered this tube with real-world use in mind. The 7075-T6 aluminum construction delivers superior strength compared to standard 6061 tube material, critical when you're pushing a compact gun hard. It arrives complete with a tungsten-filled buffer and flat-wire buffer spring—components selected to ensure reliable function over extended service life, not just out of the box. The anti-rotation tab locks firmly over the buffer retaining plunger, preventing the dreaded creep that can plague lighter builds. An integral QD socket at the rear integrates seamlessly with your favorite rifle sling, offering push-pull versatility without extra weight or adapters.

The flat, smooth profile of this tube opens the door to mounting Strike Industries' Viper Pistol Stabilizer or other popular aftermarket braces—important if your pistol configuration requires one. The Flat Dark Earth finish blends durability with aesthetics, resisting wear while maintaining a professional appearance in any lighting.
