Does anyone have any experience with it? PA has them on sale for $25, and it seems like it's too good of a deal to pass up.

I'm still too hung up on the Anderson shill advertising campaign of yesteryear, and the fact they still don't have an industry page here, to ever buy anything of their brand. They basically tried to steal advertising from this site and continue to not support this site, which like it or not gets them a ton of word of mouth business.

Just my thoughts, seems to be very unpopular these days though.

Advertising shill? I was not aware anything like this had taken place.

I like them. Anyone who makes a quality product and gives LE/Mil discounts is ok in my book.

More on topic, I have used these kits and I like them. Pretty damn good price.

They make a excellent extension. The kit is very nice.

You need only to google things like Anderson shill ar15.com

But it's an unpopular view point because their stuff is so cheap. Nobody cares about principle as long as they get theirs.

I don't know that that's entirely true. Many people avoid CTD like the plague due to their price gouging, even when they do have good prices. I've never seen the issue with Anderson brought up until this thread, though I have seen many about their uppers and lowers.

What Anderson did is obviously shady, and now I'm questioning some of the responses that I've gotten in this thread.

Nm. Missed that someone on ignore was posting too.

ETA....the link directly to the extension kit says 7075. The page of products, the summary says 6061.

For those who care, that could be a turn-off since a known 7075 tube can be had from brownells for under 20 bucks.

It's our deliveries that rub each other raw. Peace, up to you to choose it, but I dont really get off on making people mad. I would rather get along. Your choice.

Then that's a good deal. May snag one myself just to have another ready to go...

I spoke to Anderson about the receiver extensions and was told they were 6061. I feel like PA is repeating what Anderson is telling them, and that is the problem with Anderson. They will say just about anything to push their wares.
