Can you get some more pics of the pistol buffer tube? It doesn't look anything like the ones I have from PSA.
What is the length of the tube from the back of the threads? Nice build by the way. |

The tube is 7 5/16 overall and measures 6" from end of tube to the first thread.

I like it. I'm starting a pistol build. How does it group? That barrel is a 1/9 correct?

I've been trying to source some of these shorter, fatter tubes recently and your pic got me excited. The fluting you see in the pic at that link is more representative of what I have, but the one I'm trying to find has no fluting on it at all, just as yours does not appear to have any fluting. That 6" tube length is really handy if you're trying to build a pistol with an SB15 brace on it, but keep it as compact as possible. The 6" tube doesn't stick out the end of the brace or touch your shoulder / collar bone. |

It was the tube, buffer and spring and the LPK and single point sling. It was represented as a PSA kit so I assumed it was/is .No that is not the tube. There are no fluting slots. Just round. |

Okay, thank you for your info.
I know that Radical Firearms sells one like that, but I was hoping I could find it elsewhere because they are way swamped with orders right now. I just wish I knew the manufacturer, but there are no logos on the one I got to play with in person. |

This is the kit I bought....Upon further review it is a MAGPUL buffer and LPK that is marketed by PSA. Sorry for the confusion on my part.

So, as a "budget build", what was the cost completed?
