Robocop1051 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Is editing disabled after a certain amount of time or am I just lost? You can thank some douche bag for that. He was too juvenile to refrain from posting idiotic forum diarrhea... then tried to hide his ignorance. There's now a 30 min windows to correct typos and grammatical errors... everything after that time is sealed fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 VLTOR now has a pistol-style A5 extension, but I can't figure out how to edit the OP. Is editing disabled after a certain amount of time or am I just lost? RE-PA5: VLTOR A5 Pistol TubeUnfortunately I don't think it's released yet. It's been on their site for some time (I've been watching closely), but not out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spart Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 New this year, 2015 Armalite added some newly related items. Do you mean this? Looks like they're using a DPMS style buffer in that one, interesting. I wonder if it got put on hold thanks to the brouhaha over the Sig brace? It was actually introduced last year apparently. Unfortunately I don't think it's released yet. It's been on their site for some time (I've been watching closely), but not out yet. They told me on Facebook that it would be out shortly. Those kinds of promises don't always pan out... Here's something new from B.A.D. It's not on their site, what is it? If it's not ArmaLite/A5 length, it's not really relevant to this thread. Standard AR-15 length pistol buffer tubes are ubiquitous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 They told me on Facebook that it would be out shortly. Those kinds of promises don't always pan out...I'm anxiously waiting for them too, but I'm reminded of how they told us the Bren-Ten was coming too... Unlike that though, I'm sure this will come, but not holding my breath "soon" means the same thing to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spart Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Yeah, seems like a pretty easy part to make. They had a bunch of them on display at SHOT at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spart Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 VLTOR Pistol tube appears to be in stock, now. Also, Leapers/UTG have jumped into the ring with this, which will be the cheapest option available: TLU002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spart Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 PSA is selling their buffer tube separately now for $19.99 (!) PSA PA10 Buffer Tube The OP is in need of an update, but I can't do it. Can a mod assist, or maybe unlock the post for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spart Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Can add the MagPul Fixed Carbine Stock (FCS) to the list of stocks that fit on a Vltor A5 tube. Just bought one for a KISS 3-gun build and it fit over the A5 like it didn't know the extra 3/4" was there. I assume it would fit over the RE-10/A5SR and ArmaLite-style 6-pos tubes as well, but I don't have an example to test. What could make it incompatible is that it has a clamp closer to the receiver end of the tube that holds it on, and it would have to engage the extended bottom part of the tube. That part of the tube doesn't come as close to the receiver on ArmaLite tubes as on A5 tubes. OP really needs updated, and I think it really belongs here. Can a mod help with this? I can't edit the OP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spart Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 My OP is getting out of date and I'd really like to make some updates but I can't because the forum won't let me. Would appreciate some help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spart Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 That works for now, but a year down the road that info will be out of date again - then what?At some point there will be ten threads, each more outdated than the last.

Spart Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I see Magpul just released a ten position receiver extension for the Armalite style system - they refer to it as the SR25/M110 model even though the SR25 has also been equipped with the DPMS style system. Link I really wish a mod or admin would assist me in updating the OP, or getting it to a better place where it can be kept up-to-date. The market changes on a monthly basis.

That doesn't read as it is for an Armalite Receiver Extension , As you said its for a DPMS type Buffer system , an Armalite Carbine Receiver Extension is longer, so unless I'm reading something wrong here , you would have to change the Buffer system to a DPMS type to use it on a Armalite . There is something on the LAR 8 & the Bushy BAR 10 , having to swap out to a shorter Buffer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something on the LAR 8 & the Bushy BAR 10 , having to swap out to a shorter Buffer . You read wrong. I didn't say the new Magpul receiver extension is for the DPMS system, I just pointed out that they're referring to it as their SR25/M110 model even though the SR25 has been equipped with both the DPMS and Armalite style systems. The M110 on the other hand is only equipped with the Armalite style system when it has a collapsible stock or has been upgraded with one. My OP clearly states that the Armalite system is longer than the DPMS, go read it. As far as what Magpul has put out there on this new receiver extension, not only do they have photos out there that show it with their new standard AR15 receiver extension (also released today) that clearly show this extension is longer, but their website which I linked to says the following: "Due to its longer length, this receiver extension is compatible with most DPMS® Gen 1 pattern 7.62x51 firearms with standard length AR15/M4 carbine buffer components as well as aftermarket A5 buffers and springs for use on 5.56x45 AR15/M4 platforms.* " It's clearly an Armalite style receiver extension in terms of length. The bit about the LAR 8 and BAR 10 is also covered in my OP - they have an even longer action stroke than regular AR10/LR308 guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Ok , so why would I read your original post , unless you referred to it about this . I was just trying to clarify your post , because it could be confusing to some that don't know the difference . Is the one you mentioned today for the AR 15/M4/M16 have same part # as the one you linked or are they a different Model /part # , Because the link you posted doesn't say anything about he AR 15 , reads SR25/M110 , is Magpul playing funny things with their link's ? Why update the original post , you just updated this thread , whats the difference ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survivalshop Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Their web sight reads the ten slot adj. is for the SR25/M110 & the seven slot adj. is for the M4 Carbine , interesting . It also reads the ten position is longer then the seven position , so I take it ,you can use std AR 15 components or DPMS 308 components in the seven position & Armalite configuration in the ten position one . I also read that they are extruded 7075 . I was looking at ALG Defense Carbine Receiver Extension & their is 7075 Forged , now I have to get one to compare & since the ALG one is only $ 38 , I think I will order it first & I know its in stock .
