This is my setup. If you purchase the "Complete Kit" from Phase 5 you will quite pleased with the reliability, look, and the length of pull. The tube is shortened as well and comes with a cap that fits in the end of the SigTac brace so you can store stuff in it and it also looks better from the back so you don't have that giant hole. If you are stuck on the Kak tube then go with that. I have been impressed with my build and I'm shooting an 8.5" AR upper. Very reliable and the phase 5 buffer weight/spring has been great. The castle nut keeps it nice and tight but it also has a nice cutout where the retention pin is to really keep things in good and not allow the buffer tube to move at all. Extremely sturdy and heavy duty without adding much weight to the end of the rifle. Here is a pic of mine
