Strike Industries AR-15/LR-308 Stainless Steel Gas Tube

The Strike Industries AR-15/LR-308 stainless steel gas tube is a direct-impingement system component built to handle the demands of both modern sporting rifle platforms and precision long-range setups. Whether you're running a mid-length or rifle-length system, a quality gas tube is essential to reliable cycling and consistent performance downrange. Strike Industries engineered this tube in stainless steel—a material choice that resists corrosion and extends the working life of your gas system, especially important if you run suppressed or shoot in harsh conditions.

Stainless construction isn't just about longevity; it's about maintaining the tight tolerances that keep your action running clean and fast. This tube is compatible with both the AR-15 platform and the larger LR-308 (.308 Winchester) format, making it useful if you're building or upgrading either rifle. A properly functioning gas tube is one of those invisible components that separates a rifle that runs flawlessly from one that gives you trouble at the range or in the field.

Strike Industries is known for precision machine work and attention to detail, and this gas tube reflects that reputation. If you're working on an AR build, performing a mid-life overhaul, or chasing consistency in a precision rifle, a quality stainless steel gas tube is a smart upgrade that will serve you reliably for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this gas tube work in my AR-15 and my LR-308?

Yes—the Strike Industries gas tube is engineered for compatibility with both AR-15 and LR-308 platforms, so you can use it across both rifle systems.

Why upgrade to a stainless steel gas tube?

Stainless steel resists corrosion better than standard materials, especially if you shoot suppressed, in wet conditions, or store your rifle for extended periods. It also maintains tighter tolerances over time, supporting reliable, consistent function.

What is a gas tube and what does it do?

The gas tube is part of the direct-impingement operating system; it carries expanding gases from the barrel back to the bolt carrier group to cycle the action. A quality tube ensures reliable feeding, firing, and ejection.
