Building a tight, maneuverable AR pistol or PDW usually means fighting over every inch of length, and the receiver extension is one of the easiest places to claw some back. Strike Industries put together this short pistol buffer kit to do exactly that. It runs right around 5.28 inches, so you trim down your overall footprint while keeping the action running the way it should. It bolts onto any standard mil-spec AR-15 receiver, so it drops into most builds without drama.
The tube itself is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum rather than the softer 6061 you'll find on cheaper extensions, which gives you more strength where it counts. It measures 1.247 inches at the outer diameter and tips the scale at roughly 3.8 ounces. An anti-rotation tab locks over the buffer retaining plunger, and the supported buffer retainer keeps everything seated so you're not dealing with slop or wobble once it's torqued down.
A short tube is only half the equation. This kit ships with SI's pistol-weight tungsten-filled buffer, coming in around 1.8 ounces, paired with a PDW-length flat-wire spring. That combo is built to keep short-stroke pistol setups feeding reliably over the long haul, and the lighter buffer weight makes it a natural pairing with an adjustable gas block if you're tuning recoil. Folks running everything from 5.56 to 300 Blackout, supers and subs alike, report smooth, consistent function.
This is the Slick version, meaning it wears a smooth, unthreaded profile that plays nice with the Strike Industries pistol stabilizer along with plenty of other popular aftermarket braces. There's an integral QD socket at the rear of the tube for push-pull sling work, which matters a lot on a compact build where mounting real estate is scarce. The black anodized finish keeps it low-key and corrosion-resistant. If you want a clean, purpose-built foundation for a compact AR-15 pistol, this kit covers the bases in one box.
It threads onto any standard mil-spec AR-15 receiver, so it works with the vast majority of AR pistol and PDW lowers out there. The slick, smooth profile is designed to accept the Strike Industries pistol stabilizer as well as many other popular aftermarket braces. It's built for the AR-15 platform specifically.
It's a complete kit. You get the short 7075-T6 receiver extension, SI's tungsten-filled pistol buffer, and a PDW-length flat-wire buffer spring all in one box. That means you have everything needed to run the reciprocating assembly without sourcing parts separately.
The tube comes in right around 5.28 inches, noticeably shorter than a standard carbine or pistol-length extension. On a compact build that translates to a meaningfully smaller overall footprint, which helps a lot with maneuverability. It's one of the shortest AR pistol tubes available while still keeping proper cycling.
The tungsten-filled buffer is intentionally kept to a pistol weight of about 1.8 ounces to match short-stroke setups, and it's paired with a flat-wire spring for consistent cycling. Users running 5.56 and 300 Blackout in both supersonic and subsonic loads report reliable function. Pairing it with an adjustable gas block is a smart move if you want to fine-tune recoil and lock in reliability across different ammo.
