This 15.5 long, extended stainless steel gas tube is what we use in our large bore AR10 builds. The slightly longer length gives you a better seal with AR10/LR308/SR25 style gas keys for improved reliability and performance.

I am using these tubes for a couple builds using Aero M5 upper, Aero BCG, and a Faxon barrel. Another reviewer stated it was too long for an Aero M5 upper, ha! Due to Faxon being a little sloppy with the gas port location, this is the only one long enough to reach the middle of the cam cutout. Most manufacturers are selling AR15 length tubes (roughly 15.2", depending on manufacturer). They can work, if the gas port location is right, otherwise, you're building a single shot rifle. In my case, a "standard" (ha!) length tube barely reaches the front of the cam cutout, and the gun cycles too fast to strip the next round from the magazine. I will be buying a few more of these to keep in the stash box.

I have an Aero upper with Aero bolt for my build. Using an 18" rifle length gas barrel and this tube will not allow the bolt to close. It is roughly .375 too long. I guess you can either cut it down or do not use it with Aero parts. Looks like this one is now going on my shelf.

The fact that the negative reviews are due to length and not quality is scary, some people shouldn't be building firearms themselves. This part has nothing to do with the upper receiver, it has to do with the barrel. Some barrel manufacturers use the proper AR10 length gas system, some use the shorter AR15 gas system, research which style your barrel uses. This is a high quality part, don't hesitate to buy if it is the proper length for your application. Remember there is no standard for AR308/SR25 parts like milspec AR15 parts, so make sure parts are compatible and always headspace!

This tube works for AR10 platform rifles. It is a little longer for positive gas transfer, it will solve short stroking problem. If you are one of those complaining that it is too long, you probably shot your rifle with a shorter tube first, and now the carbon fouling is keeping your bolt from closing all the way. You will have to clean the carbon from the bolts staked gas tube for this to fit now. Remove the carbon, and it will fit! Duuhhh!

This tube IS the correct length for AR.308 in 6.5 creed and 308 Win regardless of what other review state.Works with Faxon, Wilson Combat, Criterion barrels – no problems with Aero Precision, Wilson, Palmetto and other bolts.
