I have a shockwave on the official KAK tube and one of a fluted pistol tube that came from Palmetto state. Both of the braces fit like a glove.

i believe the Odin tube is made for the sig braces not the shockwave diameter

All I know is that the KAK Shockwave buffer tube and both their end-plate, as well as a BCM end-plate, weren't "good to go" with the alignment tabs on the plates.
At the moment my castle-nut is double-staked, and I've thought about doing a spot-weld there to make sure it can't twist. |

Thanks for the input. Maybe I need to get a shockwave tube then. This one is sloppy as a mofo.

Yep, two parts not meant for each other. Get the KAK tube. Works well.

I know this having three of them now. That said, I can't even use last one I got in an AR. Will have to be for an AK. Just crap finish inside. Does anyone make a quality tube for the KAK brace? |

Are all three of your KAK tubes screwed up inside? I just installed one and I'm not happy. It sounds like it's lined in 40 grit on the inside when cycling the bolt. |

I have the KAK shockwave brace and buffer tube and they are a nice tight fit together, no issues.

If anyone finds a buffer tube that fits nice and tight please let me know. Im at 25 3/4 OAL because of the KAK tube.
I can dimple a tube myself, Im not even worried. |

Just received a Kak tube and blade and they fit perfect and the interior finish is as expected. No issues.

I bought the blade thinking it would fit over my Phase5 tube but it doesnt. The Phase5 tube is too small. I measured and the tube is 1.24 on mine and the blade hole is 1.28.
I suppose I can use some black electrical tape wrapped around the phase 5 tube but I just ordered the kak tube to see if that fits better. |

The main issue is it's length since you will need a 12.5" barrel to hit the magic 26"+ mark if you intend on adding a VFG. Other than that I have no complaints about it. |
