Most Helpful Positive Review 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.

Most Helpful Negative Review 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.

This is the correct gas tube to use for your AR-10/LR-308

by UncleDano, Verified Owner from UT, United States Written on June 5, 2026

This is the correct gas tube to use for your rifle length AR-10/LR-308. The 15.5" length gives you maximum gas key engagement for best performance in your 308, 6.5 CM, 260, 243, 7mm-08. 358, etc.. This is the only brand gas tube that I use for all the AR-308's that I build. You get maximum gas delivered to your BCG with these. They cost a few bucks more, but it is worth it.

Pros:

15.5" length for best performance

Cons:

None

Best Used for:

AR-10/LR-308

Fits Aero M5/WC Combo

by Frank Reynolds, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on June 3, 2026

I was building an LR 308 using a 20” WC Super Sniper barrel and an Aero M5 receiver set (Ballistic Arvantage is the same thing) and accidentally got the standard AR15 rifle length gas tube when I thought I had purchased this one. Short stroking for days since the AR15 rifle tube was too short. Even with my SLR adjustable gas block wide open. It just would LRBHO. The new tube is “too long” by AR15 standards but there’s nothing standard about LR 308. The bolt closes all of the way and fitment is no issue.

Best Used for:

LR 308 with Wilson Combat rifle length gas systems.

Does not work on AR-15. Only works on AR-10.

by Frank, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on March 7, 2026

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.

works great with Wilson combat barrels

by NickNine, Verified Owner from NJ, United States Written on February 26, 2025

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

Excellent selection

Everyone else was sold out of WC gas tubes. Optics planet had it in stock and shipped it quickly.

Great quality part, fast shipping

by JAG, from CA, United States Written on December 14, 2023

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!

Right piece for the build

by Gooseslayer, from PA, United States Written on December 3, 2023

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

There are much better barrels out there.

by Pete, Verified Owner from OH, United States Written on November 25, 2023

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
