    The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.

    What sets a good gas tube from from a "not-so-good" tube is the quality of the grinding to reduce the end to the proper dimensions and the care taken to swage the plug in the front.

    Are these gas tubes GTG or should they be considered suspect/rejects?

    Black Nitride Mil-Spec Carbine Gas Tube-

    Our Black Nitride gas tubes are made out of Mil-Spec 304 stainless steel and then are Nitride treated for greater heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and lower reflection. These gas tubes are great for all calibers, including .223, 5.56, 300 blackout, 5.45x39, 7.62x39 or any other AR15 variant. The low glare black gas tubes eliminate any glare underneath the hand guard. Black Nitride is also known as SBN, melonite, QPQ and so forth.

    The only way to know that what you are getting is good is to buy from known good sources. I'd stick to BRT, Sionics, Colt, BCM, etc for assurance of that. There are probably dozens of other places you could buy from that are fine, but there is no reason to take that risk.
