Im cheap and already have a sig set up that my grandson uses, but the sig is bulky.  Being im cheap, its Black
friday and I'd like a shockwave, can i use the shockwave without buying a tube?

Alternately, if not can i buy the shockwave and tube and use my existing buffer parts?

Thanks.

buffer and spring should be the same no matter if it's just a pistol buffer tube or the KAK etc..

as for interchangeability between the 2 braces, that answer is already there on the SHOCKWAVE website

what I did was use electrical tape and built it up on the buffer tube until the shockwave fit snug than screwed the set screw.

I cut a section of bicycle inner tube to take up the space... Worked perfect......
Do yourself a favor and buy the proper tube,  you'll be happier spending the extra $20

On the plus side the super tube makes it easier to hit 26" OAL if you want to use a VFG.

With an 11.5" barrel and the KAK tube I came up short by 1/8"....

Yes, but your going to have to add several wraps of electrical tape to get it to the right size.  When I did it for a short time I had to add about 3/16" of electrical tape in three places to make it work.

The KAK tube is about $20
