That sucks Zouave

The good news is that you can add a heavier 9mm Colt buffer that will smooth out your 5.56 XM177 action very nicely HERE

This one won't come apart on you

Thats not bad,

I bought 2 carbine extention tubes & castle nuts from them at the last Big E show. I had a feeling & decieded unwrap & check the tubes. The guy said they are milspec.

The tubes were not the 5 pos tubes he said they were but some 7 position tubes that were for a commercial stock. I returned them & asked if I could swap for the milspec ones that are with the stocks on the table. He didn't want to swap & refunded my $$$.

I forgot to return the castle nuts & when I got home they didnt fit my tube.


Oh well,buyer beware!
