For the price of a new buffer tube, I would pick up a new milspec tube and nut.

Is it that bcg only that seizes up?
Have you ran this tube or those parts on any other guns? Is the buffer tube rotating at all when you cinch up the castle nut? |

It's that bcg that seizes the other fail zero is ok. All parts are new for a new build so nothing has been on another rifle

It doesn't look like the tube turns at all, it's an anti rotational tube.

Quote HistoryThat's a hot link for a bcm MILSPEC buffer tube. Have you tried that bcg in a different rifle? |

Seems like patriot ordnance is trying to fix a problem that doesnt exist, and causing new problems. OP i am sorry you bought into the snake oil they are selling, buy a milspec tube i bet your problems vanish.

What exactly is different between the POF Anti-Tilt tube, and a standard tube? From the pictures it looks like there is zero difference apart from the extended tabs that go over the buffer retainer.
I agree with the snake oil comment. Trying to figure out what would prompt someone to spend nearly twice the money on this tube that it would cost for a standard tube. |

Isn't the anti-tilt buffer tube for piston systems?

I have a complete factory POF 415 (piston rifle) lower with that buffer tube design attached to a complete factory LWRC (piston rifle) upper. They work like a charm together. If I had a milspec DI AR15 upper, I'd use a standard milspec AR15 buffer tube and components. Don't see much sense in using a component that I believe was primarily designed for a piston driven rifle. |

I have found the AR15 typically works best when the functioning parts are left more or less as Eugene intended.

Are you referring to the ears for the buffer retainer? If so, I don't think that's what the problem is. I have tubes that aren't POF anti tilt tubes with those ears for the buffer retainer that don't have any problems at all. I'm wondering if unscrewing the whole tube one rotation further away from the buffer retainer will fix your problem. It's worth trying. |
