I'm looking for a foam buffer tube cover for the SB Tactical 1.20" (it actually measure a bit smaller than that) pistol buffer tube.

Most pistol buffer tubes and covers for them seem to be 1.25" diameter. Where can I buy a foam cover for a 1.20" diameter pistol buffer tube?

I think they stretch to fit so a half a tenth likely wouldn't be an issue.

Just get one for 1.25 and a length of heat shrink to place on the tube under it, done.

Try this instead..https://damageindustriesllc.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=605
The foam tubes I have tried were thick enough to interfere with pulling back the charge handle unless you shortened the foam.

The velcro buffer tube cover also helps keep the chill off of your face.

I have a handful of these. They do not interfere with the CH. Unfortunately I don't remember where I got them. They work well though.

I used a 1 1/8" (1.125") ID foam grip on a and fought to get it on the tube. PITA, but it doesn't move and the handle doesn't rub the foam too much once its on.

I have something very similar it is actually from a push broom handle. Too tight to get on dry I had to wet it a little with some water. Its thin enough there is no contact with the charging handle.
