BIGBREW Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Can someone recommend a rifle length buffer tube THAT IS IN STOCK SOMEWHERE please. Everywhere I seem to look they are out of stock. Buffers and springs seem to be easy to find. Feel free to post a link. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGBREW Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I like that AP one you posted. Is it me or do the threads look short? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used one of their carbine kits for a build and had to cut a notch for the detent so I could get another turn on it, also added a couple quarters to the tube to get the carrier to the right depth. No problem though, runs like a champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtallen83 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Still used a castle nut, wasn't as much room but everything fit as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know which way his question was going, so tossed up the info... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGBREW Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I didn't think a castle nut was needed, but before placing the order I wanted to confirm. Thank you again for the info gents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
