Swapping the stock on an older build and forgot I had one of the first batches of the DDC buffer tubes. Just noticed holes in the back 4 positions. Why?
I always wondered why that nice DDC always looked dirty. The closer I look at this tube, it’s got some rough looking machining and finish in some places. Anyway, never seen (or noticed) those holes in a receiver extension before.  Attached File |

If you are a true operator performing drills in the sea it allows water to drain out.

Take your stock off and see if it has a drain hole on the end of the tube. |

This is where your dignity is suppose to leak from when you run around doing extreme duty stuff with a big ol “Super Duty” logo on the side of your receiver so that people know how hardcore duty you really are.

I actually quit buying G products over a year ago. I do have a past DDC build though and just have never seen a buffer tube with holes on the bottom...just the one on the end of the tube. |
