Straight Aluminum Tubing 1in O.D. x 18in Long

The Straight Aluminum Tubing 1in O.D. x 18in Long is a precision-engineered component designed for fabrication, assembly, and custom build applications across tactical, automotive, and mechanical systems. Whether you're constructing custom suppressor baffles, building protective housings, or engineering specialized mounting solutions, this aluminum tube delivers the structural integrity and dimensional consistency required in high-performance environments. The 18-inch length provides sufficient material for single-piece fabrication while remaining practical for inventory and transport.

Manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, the Straight Aluminum Tubing features a one-inch outer diameter with tight dimensional tolerances essential for precision threading, baffling, or adapter machining. Aluminum's inherent properties—low weight at just 0.66 pounds, excellent machinability, and superior corrosion resistance—make it ideal for applications where steel's added weight or maintenance burden prove impractical. The straight-wall design eliminates stress concentrations, critical when working with threaded assemblies or high-pressure systems common in tactical equipment manufacturing. This tube stock works seamlessly with standard machine tooling and hand equipment, reducing fabrication time and cost.

Armorers, gunsmiths, and tactical equipment builders rely on this tubing for creating custom suppressors, flash hiders, muzzle devices, and protective guards tailored to specific firearm platforms and performance requirements. The neutral finish accepts anodizing, Cerakote, or other protective coatings without surface preparation complications. Compatibility spans virtually all major calibers through custom boring and threading, making this tube an economical alternative to pre-manufactured components while maintaining full design control and legal compliance for licensed manufacturers.
