that sounds like the one i used, it was on sale at the time i started my build. its only been a couple months but no issues so far and yeah i put a little blue loctite on it. and since you already have it just use it, you can always replace it later if need be.

i thought so, it should work no problem. i have tried to turn mine by hand to see if it would come loose and no way could i get it loose by hand. but i did tighten it with a strap wrench too. not to tight though.

Blue Loctite FTW. In moderation, of course.

No real need for loctite, but if you do use it, make sure you grind the end of the tube to the right length before you loctite it in place

Any end plate can be used, you just have to grind down the nub that goes in the slot ...

Folks have found that some of the thicker ones don't allow the original version of the KAK tube it to reach buffer retaining pin, was one of the reasons the "super" version was so immediately popular. - OS |

I've had several buffer tubes that needed trimming or grinding a bit to fit and allow the buffer retainer to work properly. The 2 pistols I have built both used the lock ring type tube.
I bought them just because it was what I was used to using and it seemed logical at the time. |
