Can someone please either provide a picture or describe what the dry film looks like inside the 7075 alum tubes? I ordered the 7075 tube, and I am unable to see a difference in this one and the one that came with my LBK's and rifle kit. These kits, per other threads come with the 6061 tube which does not have the dry film on the inside. If anyone could describe it or post a picture. I'm not sure if it's just clear or what. Just checking that I did indeed get the 7075 tube.thanks for anyone that can assist.

It is grey.  It is very noticeable.    If you do not have a grey color on the inside of the tube, contact CS to get it replaced.  It is possible you were sent the wrong tube.

Looks like it is the incorrect tube due to the lack of grey film inside.. Spoke with CS this afternoon, and the correct one will be sent out with a return label. Simple mistake, so no big deal. Thanks

What the hell was this comment all about? Representing yourself as "CS" for PSA when I seriously doubt you are is totally uncalled for don't you think? By your location I'm guessing you work for Spike's? Grow the hell up for God's sake!

I have had that too with the moe stock, but it was with another companies tube. I think it will be ok. I haven't had a problem.

Looking forward to it.  By the description above, I was shipped the wrong tube too.  

Sounds like someone needs to check the parts bins for correctness and train their employees better.

No,  just one new eager guy with good intentions, who thinks he knows and doesn't stop to ask, can cause a lot of headaches.  The boxes are very plainly marked...

We apologize for the inconvenience.

The best I could do... Its not a huge difference. But this one does have a grey color to the inside. The other was black. Other than that, they both looked exactly the same.

Thanks.  7075 Powder coated interior is certainly noticebly different from the 6061 black painted interior.

Just checked mine recieved last week.  Ordered a 7075, the one I received has no grey coating.  Will contact C.S.  Glad I saw this thread, sad I had to see it so I know I didn't get what I ordered.  Maybe an email to people who may have got the wrong part is in order?

Checked mine too from an order placed on June 7.  Same problem, ordered mil-spec tube and got a regular tube.  Sent an email to CS.  Really glad I saw this thread.

Which buffer tube is the classic lower build kit supposed to come with? Mine has the black finish on the inside.

I saw this thread and I received the wrong tube also.  It was order #100040363.    I tried calling several times today but no luck getting through.   I  finally sent an email.

I was surprised today.  My ammo order arrived and there was a buffer tube in the box.
