MPN: 55BA48A

Features:

• Improved Gas Seal: It provides a more consistent and reliable seal around the bolt, helping to maintain proper gas pressure for cycling the action
• Enhanced Durability: The one-piece design reduces the risk of gas ring failure or misalignment that can happen with standard three-ring setups
• Easier Maintenance: It’s compatible with all Mil-Spec AR-15 bolts, and easier to install and less prone to damage or incorrect reassembly compared to the individual rings
• Consistent Performance: The helical (spiral) shape maintains tension and a secure fit even as parts wear, helping to ensure reliable function over time

Compatibility:

• Mil-Spec AR-15 bolt chamber in 5.56 NATO / .223 Rem. / 300 Blackout.

Details:

Gas rings are like that one bad employee in an otherwise solid team - they don't seem like a problem until everything goes sideways. The One-Piece Helical AR-15 Gas Ring is the equivalent of finally firing that guy.

Here's why these matters: When your AR starts short-stroking halfway through a class or your ejection pattern goes random after a few mags, those three little rings are usually the culprits. The helical design eliminates their weak points by being one continuous piece of stainless steel. No gaps. No rotation. No nonsense.

In practice, this means your bolt runs smoother when dirty (which, let's be honest, is always). It means consistent performance whether you're running suppressed or not. And it means not having to replace rings every couple thousand rounds like some sort of peasant.

With a few dollars, it's not free. But compared to the cost of ammo you'll waste diagnosing gas issues, or matches you might lose to preventable malfunctions, it's stupid not to run one.
