Specifically the carbine buffer tube...do these come without the numbers on top?
Where might I find one?

CMT makes a mil-spec 6 position (Vltor is 5 position)

Some of the dealers have them.  

Rainier Arms, Bravo Company are some that come to mind.

Yes, Vltor is numbered on the top.  

More pics & info

Yes but will the numbers line up only with the Vltor stock, or will they line up with others?

Are all the Vltor tubes like that now?

Just wondering because that is the dumbest idea ever.

This is what my main point was...
I'm trying to find a black tube to put a SOPMOD stock on.
I'd like it if the numbers DIDN'T show, through the little whole on top of the stock.

Anybody have a set up like this that can vouch?

The VLTOR Tube I bought about 2 years ago DID not have these numbers. This must be a recent addition.

Ugh, garbage.
I guess I'll have to look for an older one.

Thx for the insight Harv24.

if your stock has a hole on top (which it should), it'll line up. the numbers coincide with the detents, which coincide with the latch pin, which is installed through the hole on top.
i've found them to be useful, and it hurts nothing if they're there.

Here is a thread about a 5 position mil-spec size tube with NO numbers.
I just received mine the other day.
