POF AR-15 Enhanced Anti-Tilt Buffer Tube 5.56/.223
Patriot Ordnance FactoryThe Patriot Ordnance Factory Enhanced Anti-Tilt Buffer Tube for .223/5.56 AR-15 platforms delivers mil-spec precision engineering that eliminates carrier tilt, extends service life, and keeps your rifle running reliably through the harshest conditions.
- Machined from mil-spec 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum for maximum durability
- Carrier cradle extensions support the bolt carrier even when the bolt is fully forward
- Eliminates carrier tilt to prevent premature wear on the buffer tube interior
- Buffer-detent button acts as a rotation lock to prevent loosening under stress
- Three additional drain holes engineered for reliable function in marine environments
- Six-position adjustable design fits standard mil-spec AR-15 lower receivers
Who This Is For
This buffer tube is ideal for AR-15 builders, competitive shooters, and tactical users who demand a higher standard of reliability than standard buffer tubes provide. Whether you're running suppressed, shooting in wet or sandy environments, or simply want to reduce wear on your lower receiver internals, the POF Enhanced Anti-Tilt Buffer Tube is an upgrade that pays dividends over thousands of rounds of service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the anti-tilt design actually prevent bolt carrier wear?
Standard buffer tubes allow the bolt carrier to dip or tilt downward when the bolt moves forward, causing the carrier key and lower edges to scrape against the inside of the buffer tube over time. POF's carrier cradle extensions effectively bridge this gap, keeping the bolt carrier level and fully supported throughout the entire operating cycle. This dramatically reduces friction, scoring, and material wear on both the carrier and the tube itself.
Is this buffer tube compatible with my standard mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver?
Yes. The POF Enhanced Anti-Tilt Buffer Tube is built to mil-spec dimensions and will thread directly into any standard mil-spec AR-15 lower receiver with a standard receiver extension threads. It is compatible with mil-spec carbine stocks and standard carbine buffers and buffer springs. Note that it is not designed for commercial-spec lower receivers, which use a slightly different thread and tube diameter.
Do I need a special buffer or stock to use this tube?
No special components are required. The POF Anti-Tilt Buffer Tube accepts any standard mil-spec carbine buffer and buffer spring, and is compatible with all mil-spec six-position collapsible stocks. Simply transfer your existing buffer and spring into the new tube during installation — no additional modifications to your AR-15 are needed.
