Spikes coated gas tube

Hi all I am looking for a gas tube for my build I saw that Spikes has a coated gas tube is there any difference in performance than a standard gas tube. Thanks for your help

It is hard to tell without any specific numbers. It should obviously reduce heat, but by how much? That is the million dollar question. I'm pretty sure that for general use, it will have very little effect. Maybe hard/full auto use may have some effect.

Personally, I see no need for a coated gas tube. Plenty of our guys run full auto with no gas tube issues. I doubt that even hard semi-auto use would benefit from a coated gas tube.

Here's how I see it when it comes to accessories. If something doesn't negatively affect an AR and it can possibly make it better, I'm all for it. Is this a necessary item? Not really, but considering it costs just about the same as a regular gas tube, what do you have to lose? Nothing. So I'd say it is good to go if you want to get one.
