I know BCM, Colt, DPMS, and Bushmaster do for sure..
What makes you say this? I would think this is a part that would be subcontracted out rather than any of the fore mention manufacturers dedicating employees and space to make. |

Well i guess for one, both Bushie and BCM sell them on their websites, which a lot of other manufacturers dont. And Ive seen for sale both Colt and DPMS on gunbroker. Am I completely off base here? With all the problems one can run into with short stroking (with an SBR) because of lack of pressure, I just want a reliable tube to use on my build. I know the tube itself can matter for short stroking problems, but has reliability ever been an issue between brands? Thanks |

Selling does not mean they actually make it. What you can gather by going with a reputable company is that they hold whomever they source the gas tubes from, to a certain higher quality standard.
So long as you stick with a good company, you should get a good quality unit. I have seen lower quality differences with the lower tier parts houses like M1S, M&A and a few "gun show specials". So it pays to go with a reputable company. |

I have ordered High Standard parts before and been quite satisfied. All the other makes like Colt and DPMS in the Brownell's catalog are "out of stock". |

I use standard gas tubes in all of my rifles. |

Most "enhancements" and fancy flashy bobbles fix a problem that does not exist. If it aint broke don't fix it. Use the money for quality ammunition or items that will put your rounds on target more precisely. |
