Build & Performance Advantages
Consistent stock fit: Mil-spec sizing helps prevent wobble and ensures positive lock-up across quality stocks.
Smooth cycling: Precisely machined internal bore promotes consistent buffer movement and reliable return-to-battery.
Rigid mounting: Correct thread profile mates securely to the lower receiver; supports precise alignment of the end plate and castle nut.
Weather-resistant finish: Gray anodized coating fights corrosion and abrasion for long service life.
Ideal Uses
Duty/defense setups requiring rugged parts that hold zero and survive real-world abuse
3-Gun & competition rifles where fast stock adjustments and reliable cycling matter
Hunting & field carbines that benefit from tunable length of pull across layers and seasons
General upgrades when replacing out-of-spec or worn receiver extensions
What’s Typically Needed (Not Included)
Carbine buffer & spring (select weight to match your gas system/ammo)
End plate & castle nut (stake after final torque for duty-grade security)
Armorer’s wrench and torque wrench for proper installation
Installation Notes
Ensure the firearm is unloaded; remove upper from lower.
Thread the buffer tube into the lower receiver, capturing the buffer retainer and spring.
Align end plate, maintain takedown detent spring tension, and torque the castle nut to spec.
Stake the castle nut in two places for long-term security.
Function check: verify stock positions, buffer retention, and smooth charging.
