{"product_id":"ballistic-stainless-gas-tube-carb","title":"Ballistic Advantage Stainless Steel Gas Tube – Carbine Length AR-15","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis carbine-length gas tube is a direct replacement for worn or damaged tubes in AR-15 platform rifles. Gas tubes are critical components in the direct impingement system, channeling propellant gases from the barrel to cycle the bolt carrier group. Over time, gas tubes can corrode, bend, or develop carbon buildup that affects reliability—this stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than standard tubes and maintains consistent gas flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured from 304 stainless steel with a matte finish, this tube offers improved durability over mil-spec alternatives. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic AR-15 assembly: remove the handguard, extract the old tube from the gas block, and insert the new tube. A roll pin secures it to the gas block. No gunsmithing required, though proper alignment and roll pin installation tools are recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas Tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Firearms:\u003c\/strong\u003e AR-15 carbine-length gas systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbine (9.75 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drop-in with basic tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gas tube and roll pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ballistic Advantage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47937323106559,"sku":"BAPA100066","price":13.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/0434\/3807\/files\/2856110.jpg?v=1766485964","url":"https:\/\/doublestackstore.com\/products\/ballistic-stainless-gas-tube-carb","provider":"Double Stack Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
