BIGBREW Posted November 9, 2016 Report 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.

BIGBREW Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Posted November 9, 2016 I like that AP one you posted. Is it me or do the threads look short?

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.
jtallen83 Posted November 12, 2016 Report Posted November 12, 2016 Still used a castle nut, wasn't as much room but everything fit as usual.

Yep, I totally spaced that, mine was a carbine setup......shows what my attention span is, I even posted the links to the rifle length stuff

I didn't know which way his question was going, so tossed up the info...
BIGBREW Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report 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.
