The Phase 5 AR-15 Pistol Pigtail Gas Tube is a specialty gas tube from Phase 5 (brand part no. PIGTAIL) shaped with an extra bend, or pigtail, to route gas properly through a pistol-length gas system. The gas tube carries propellant gas from the gas block back to the bolt carrier key to cycle the action, and short pistol-length systems often need this bent geometry to clear the handguard and seat correctly. It is a direct-fit replacement for AR-15 pistol builds running a pistol-length gas system.

Key Specifications

• It carries gas from the gas block to the bolt carrier key, the same function as any AR-15 gas tube.
• It uses a pigtail bend in its geometry, shaped to route gas correctly through a pistol-length gas system.
• It is built for pistol-length AR-15 gas systems specifically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit a carbine-length gas system? No, it is shaped specifically for pistol-length gas systems; a standard straight gas tube is used for carbine and mid-length systems.

Why does a pistol-length gas tube need a bend? The shorter pistol-length gas system geometry often requires the extra pigtail bend to route gas cleanly from the block back to the bolt carrier key.
