The V7 Extreme Environment Gas Tube is the only gas tube that anyone should use. The gas tube is one of the failure points on an AR during sustained fire. It literally melts and you have no functioning gun after that. This gas tube is made from a metal composition that withstands higher temperatures than any other gas tube currently on the market. Until there is something better, this will be the only gas tube for me.

Like the review title says it is one tough gas tube and it's a part of the home build that doesn't usually get a lot of consideration, but this is in my opinion the most robust choice available for the home AR builder. A+ ��

If you're looking for the ultimate gas tube that will last or outlast the life of your rifle, look no further. This gas tube is made of the same material most modern suppressors are made of. Suppressors capable of withstanding full-auto fire need inconel in order to last, leave it to V Seven to use that same material to model the toughest gas tube out of. Not only will it survive temperatures that would render your standard gas tubes into a curly noodle of scrap metal, it won't ever rust or corrode. I use these in all of my builds and love the quality of the construction and the fit and finish. When you hold it in your hands you can just feel that this is one bad mama-bama that has no equal. OpticsPlanet was quick to get this shipped out to me as well, so there's that. Is this gas tube worth the premium it commands? If you want the weakest link of your rifle to no longer be a possible liability when you need it most, YES- absolutely!

Most ar15 owners will likely never need to replace a regular gas tube. But if you want one that you guarantee that then this is the one for you. If running full auto, binary trigger, etc. this also would be a good gas tube but would need to keep an eye on barrel temperature to make sure you don't over heat the barrel in too short period of time since this gas tube likely won't be the first thing to malfunction like it was designed to. If you can afford to dump magazine after magazine with ammo prices as high as they are right now I mean. It's thicker than the average gas tube leading up to where it enters the upper receiver so will not be compatible with all barrel nuts for all hand guards without maybe some modifications to the barrel and/or hand guard. It fit Midwest industries SP rail and aero precisions enhanced gen 2 hand guard without any modifications.

Amazing gas tube 99.9% of people don't need. I will never get the gun hot enough to pop a regular gas tube, but I like to overbuild things and waste money on parts to get that warm and fuzzy feeling. All jokes aside, people buying these tubes do not understand how the AR-15 is meant to operate. The gas tube IS supposed to be your point of failure and you won't be shooting enough rounds to reach that point regardless. Unless you are doing 20 30round mag dumps on a full auto lower this item is pointless, not to mention your barrel will be scrap metal after said activity. Spend your money on ammo and training maybe even a book about the very system you are using.

Out of the box you can see more milling step cuts that indicate that not only is the tube made out of a bomb proof material but it is also thicker walled. Tolerances are perfect and it sustained many mag dumps without a hint of fatigue or discoloration. I hand picked everything on this build to survive long into a "Mad Max" scenario and this gas tube is the cherry on the SHTF sundae. Inconel is the same alloy that's used in quality suppressor baffles and high heat portions of turbine jet engines. It's just that extra peace of mind that makes me look at the rifle a little more adoringly.
