Works on Aero Prec. M5 Upper and Faxon and Wilson Combat barrels
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.

This gas tube is too long for Aero M5 Upper
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.
Does not work on AR-15. Only works on AR-10.
I only took off a star because I think they could have been more obnoxious about this not working in an AR-15. Entirely my fault for attending the school for kids who can't read good. Bought in haste after seeing not many other rifle length AR gas tube options. Read the first few words and not the whole description. Wilson Combat makes good stuff.
Would recommend: Yes
wilson combat gas tube
Perfect as described and fast shipping...it is only fir wilson barrels though so if you dont have one its 3/16 too long
Would recommend: Yes
works great with Wilson combat barrels
This gas tube is awesome for Wilson combat barrels. They use a quarter inch longer gas tube to get a better seal. I really like using all of their products in my builds. However, I don’t like things being proprietary.
Pros:
- Works great
Cons:
- Proprietary
Best Used for:
- Wilson Combat BCG
Would recommend: Yes
Excellent selection
Everyone else was sold out of WC gas tubes. Optics planet had it in stock and shipped it quickly.
Would recommend: Yes
Great quality part, fast shipping
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!
Would recommend: Yes

Right piece for the build
I needed this item for my build. As it indicated this is designed for the Wilson Combat BCG. Use the other model of tube if you are using someone else's BCG.
Best Used for:
- Wilson Combat BCG
Would recommend: Yes
There are much better barrels out there.
I’m sorry that I purchased this barrel. I have installed a handful of barrels and one property of a good barrel is that it cleans up with little effort. This barrel won’t come clean up. Even after a hours of work, the patches still show signs of copper and powder fouling. This is with starting level loads. I have Criterium barrels and Bartlein barrels that clean up with very little effort and shoot much better.
Pros:
- None
Cons:
- hard to clean
Would recommend: No

This tube works for AR10 platform rifles.
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!
Pros:
- more gas pressure
Cons:
- None
Best Used for:
- AR10 (LR-308) builds.
- AR10 6.5 Creedmoor, .308
Would recommend: Yes
