The Spikes Tactical Carbine-Length Gas Tube (brand part number SUGT0M2) is the same gas tube Spike’s installs on its own ST-15 rifles and complete upper receivers, machined from Mil-Spec 304 stainless steel for a properly sized, reliable carbine-length gas system. Spikes then applies a Melonite coating over the stainless, which adds extra heat resistance, extra corrosion resistance, and cuts down on surface glare compared to bare stainless steel. The coating also makes this tube a strong choice for 5.45×39 uppers running cheap, corrosive surplus ammunition, not just standard .223/5.56. A split roll pin ships with the tube for a complete installation.
