| I'm looking to get a couple RE's to go with a couple lowers I have collecting dust, just to try and complete the lower (don't really have any build plans right now). I see DD's tubes are a fair amount cheaper than say LMT and Vltor. Anything different about them? Where I was looking doesn't say what they are made of, but I can't imagine they wouldn't be 7075. |

I looked on DD's website (duh, why didn't I think of that earlier?), and they state 7075.
$31 @ DSG, but I see they are now backordered. This is just the tube, but LMT & VLTOR run about $45. I am awash in carbine springs, but I guess I'll need buffers and the castle nut and receiver plates, so it might be even with BCM. |

50% off with code DAD50 on AR parts |

Thanks for posting that, I've never bought from them but we'll give it a try. I needed a few other spare small parts, so it works out. I'd probably rather have DD or VLTOR, but in all liklihood these are just going to sit in the safe, so I just want them complete in case... whatever, I guess. 2016 is coming.

I normally buy Vltor buffer tubes for all of my builds, but I recently grabbed 2 of these Anderson tubes for builds where the buffer tube is getting cerakoted. The specs read well (7075 and 6-position) and I don't care how the anodizing looks since it's getting painted anyways. Granted my sample is small, I haven't been disappointed yet with my Anderson tubes, especially given they're only $14.99.
