It's nothing fancy but it's 14 bucks (with 50% off promo) for 7075. The pws appears to be 10 times as much. Eta: nevermind on the 50% off, I was mistaken. 28 bucks still isn't bad though |

I buy receiver extensions from people like BCM. If BCM says it's a MIL-SPEC extension, it's not just "mil-spec diameter," and that's important to me.
Deciding something is "lower quality" because it was inexpensive is not always accurate. Who you bought it from, and whether it meets expected dimensional standards is a better gauge. |

They're also supposed to be made from 7075 alloy. Or am I missing something? |

Not according to Bravo Company....
For your AR15, M16, M4. Carbine receiver extension (buffer tube) machined from 7075T6 and manufactured to Mil-Spec dimensions and specifications. Mil-Spec receiver extensions have a slightly smaller dimension where the stock slides on. Hard Coat Anodized per Mil-A-8625F, Type III, Class 2 These tubes should be used with stocks such as USGI, BCM, Colt, LMT, SOPMOD, VLTOR, Stag Arms, Magpul CTR (Milspec), and others that a made to the Mil-Spec size. |

I like my spike's buffer tube. The B5 Bravo Sopmod stock fits nice and tight on it, but still adjusts easily. Battlelink Minimalist felt almost liked a fixed stock, Magpul CTR fit so well, that the friction lock did nothing.

I use "cheap" tubes... usually Anderson. They are milspec dimensionally and 7075T6, stocks lock up tight on them. At $15-$20 each I save money to put into better buffers and springs.

I can guarantee you they are not machined from billet. |
