Hey everyone,

Does anyone know of a place to purchase those caps for ar15 buffer tubes that allow you to store the buffer in spring inside the tube? I have a couple of complete stock assemblies that are going back in to the safe without being installed on a receiver. In the past, I have received some stock assemblies that included the plastic cap but I threw them out thinking I would never need them. Well, now I do.

this is an example of what I am looking for from google.

All the ones I have came with a yellow warning sticker on them.

Yeah, i found a chinese stock kit in a lgs that also had it but the guy wouldn't just sell me the cap. It must have been a china thing. I found the thing they actually do better than the US.

I tried the rubber caps but they were loose. I will probably just zip tie those on until I find something better.

Can you not just use an aluminum / whatever pipe endcap with same threads? Or, this would be ezpz for one of these guys with a 3d printer.

The problem is, the threads are unique. Yeah, I really need to invest in a 3d printer.
