Compatibility

The CMMG Gas Tube Kit, Rifle (55DA196) is compatible with AR-15 and .308 AR (AR-10 pattern) rifles that use a rifle-length gas system. Rifle-length gas systems are most commonly found on rifles with 18-inch or 20-inch barrels.

Compatible with:

  • AR-15 rifles with a rifle-length gas system
  • .308 AR / AR-10 pattern rifles with a rifle-length gas system
  • Standard low-profile and standard-profile gas blocks with a .750 in. inner diameter

Not compatible with:

  • Carbine-length gas systems (requires a separate carbine tube, approximately 7.5 in.)
  • Mid-length gas systems (requires a separate mid-length tube, approximately 9.75 in.)
  • Pistol-length gas systems

If you are unsure of your gas system length, measure the distance from your gas block to your upper receiver, or identify your barrel length. Most 20-inch barrels run rifle-length systems; 16-inch barrels typically run carbine or mid-length.


Intended Users

The CMMG Gas Tube Kit, Rifle is an ideal choice for anyone building, repairing, or upgrading an AR-15 or .308 AR with a rifle-length gas system.

Gun enthusiasts and AR builders putting together a new rifle-length upper will find this an essential component to source early in the build process. The stainless steel construction and included roll pin mean you can complete the gas system installation in one step with no additional trips to the hardware store.

Law enforcement armourers maintaining department-issued rifles benefit from keeping quality replacement gas tubes on hand. A worn or bent gas tube is a common cause of cycling failures, and a CMMG replacement restores the rifle to original spec quickly and reliably.

Military veterans and competitive shooters running rifle-length AR builds who want a durable, American-made gas tube over generic imported alternatives will appreciate the precision and corrosion resistance this stainless steel kit provides.


What's Included

  • 1x CMMG rifle-length stainless steel gas tube (15.125 in.)
  • 1x 5/64 in. x 5/16 in. gas tube roll pin

Note: A gas block is not included. A roll pin punch and hammer are required for installation and are sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions about the CMMG Gas Tube Kit, Rifle

What gas tube length works with a 20-inch AR-15 barrel?

Rifle-length gas tubes are the correct choice for most 20-inch AR-15 barrels. The CMMG 55DA196 measures 15.125 in. overall and is designed specifically for rifle-length gas systems. At this barrel length, a rifle-length system provides a smooth, lower-pressure gas cycle. Using a carbine or mid-length tube on a 20-inch barrel would result in an under-gassed system, reducing reliability and cycling performance.


Does the CMMG Rifle Gas Tube Kit come with the roll pin needed for installation?

Yes, the CMMG 55DA196 ships with a 5/64 in. x 5/16 in. roll pin for securing the gas tube to your gas block. You do not need to purchase additional hardware for a standard installation. Bring a roll pin punch and a hammer and you are ready to work.

What is the difference between carbine, mid-length, and rifle gas systems on an AR-15?

The primary difference is the position of the gas port on the barrel and the resulting length of the gas tube. Carbine-length systems, designed for shorter barrels, produce a higher-pressure and snappier gas cycle. Mid-length systems, common on 16-inch barrels, deliver a smoother and slightly lower-pressure cycle. Rifle-length systems, paired with 18-inch to 20-inch barrels, provide the most gradual gas cycle, reducing felt recoil, extending bolt carrier group life, and improving reliability at longer barrel lengths.

Can I use any brand of gas tube as a replacement, or does it have to match my original?

Quality mil-spec-compatible gas tubes are interchangeable across most AR-15 platforms regardless of who manufactured your rifle. The critical specification to match is the gas system length, not the brand. As long as your rifle uses a rifle-length gas system and a standard .750 in. diameter gas block, the CMMG 55DA196 will install and function correctly in your rifle.

Does this kit include a gas block?

No, the CMMG Rifle Gas Tube Kit, 55DA196, includes only the stainless steel gas tube and the installation roll pin. A gas block is sold separately. CMMG offers compatible low-profile gas blocks with a .750 in. inner diameter that pair well with this tube if you need both components.
