B.A.D. SABERTUBE Direct to Receiver Mid Length Buffer Tube | Black
The B.A.D. SABERTUBE Direct to Receiver Mid Length Buffer Tube is a purpose-built solution for AR-15 pistol builds that prioritizes simplicity, strength, and modern design. The B.A.D. SABERTUBE Direct to Receiver Mid Length Buffer Tube | Black threads directly into the lower receiver, eliminating the need for a traditional castle nut and end plate. This direct-to-receiver interface creates a cleaner, more rigid mounting system with fewer components and a streamlined overall profile.
Machined from billet 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, the B.A.D. SABERTUBE Direct to Receiver Mid Length Buffer Tube delivers excellent durability while remaining lightweight. The signature dimpled pattern is engineered to reduce weight without compromising structural integrity, while also adding a distinctive visual element that sets it apart from standard buffer tubes. A Mil-Spec Type III Class 2 hard anodized black finish enhances surface hardness and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.
Designed around Mil-Spec compatibility, the B.A.D. SABERTUBE Direct to Receiver Mid Length Buffer Tube works seamlessly with standard carbine buffers and buffer springs. Its direct-thread design not only simplifies installation but also reduces potential failure points associated with traditional end plate assemblies. The included VC-3 thread locker helps ensure a secure fit once properly installed, making it a dependable option for serious pistol builds.
This configuration includes the Gear Head Works Tailhook Mod 1, constructed from aluminum and finished in black. The Tailhook Mod 1 integrates cleanly with the SABERTUBE, providing a compact and functional rear support solution intended specifically for AR pistol applications. This system is not a stock and is designed for pistol configurations only, making it ideal for builders seeking compliance while maintaining control and usability.
With an overall length of 6-5/8 inches past the lower receiver and a combined system weight of approximately 8.7 ounces, the B.A.D. SABERTUBE Direct to Receiver Mid Length Buffer Tube offers an excellent balance of strength, weight savings, and handling. Its innovative mounting method and refined construction make it a standout option for builders who want a clean, lightweight, and highly functional alternative to traditional buffer tube setups.
