The T238 PTFE Coated Cylinder delivers premium internal performance at a budget-friendly $9 price point, making it one of the most cost-effective airflow upgrades available for AEG builders. Constructed from aircraft-grade 7075-T6 aluminum and finished with a hard-anodized surface (HV ≥ 800), this cylinder provides exceptional rigidity and longevity for mid-range and high-efficiency builds.
Its mirror-polished inner bore and PTFE-infused coating drastically reduce friction, improving piston movement and stabilizing FPS/joule output. Integrated cooling fins promote heat dissipation during sustained firing, helping maintain consistent performance in demanding setups.
