The Spikes is also 1/2 the price of the KAK but I can't find it in stock.

I like the clamp on the Odin tube but it looks pretty short.

Update! A Hex 2 w/ a SOB is too long for me. The SOB/KAK tube is about perfect.
The Hex 2/SB15 may be good too. |

The Spikes is also 1/2 the price of the KAK but I can't find it in stock. currently, I have a SB buffer tube and SBM4 and with the brace being right up against the end plate my qd end plate is useless. I have a single point sling I'd like to attach to the end plate and the ST extended buffer tubes seems like the one to get. |

On Friday I picked up one of these tubes from Alex Pro Firearms. It's a longer version of one they previously made and fits the SB brace nicely. The chamfers on the tube shoulder also blend into the lines of the brace for a pretty smooth look and feel. The end of the tube and brace are almost flush.
The price is around $39 (check their website for exact price) and does not come with any hardware. Tube only. My measurements: OAL= 9-13/16” Length to tube shoulder= 7-1/4" Dia= 1-3/16" Here are some pics with the KAK tube for reference. (The angle at which the pics were taken skew the view of the actual measurements on the tape measure.)  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Hmmm, not in love with the tube near the threads and how it looks but since I can't seem to find another extend pistol tube I may just get one of these. Especially for ~$40.
Thanks for the write up. |

I have this 9" one on a 10" 300BLK build with a Tailhook brace. It makes it right at 26" OAL, but feels a bit too long for my liking, especially when using the hook, it puts it too close to my elbow and causes my wrist to be tweaked.
I'd like to find an 8" or even just a standard 7" length that is 1.20" diameter or less. I originally had the Kak Shockwave brace and tube, but that tube is too fat (1.25") to fit the Tailhook. 9" pistol tube in stock $29 |

You could run an A2 tube with a carbine buffer and a delrin spacer inside

I think the tube is upside down? If you turn it so the logo is on the bottom, the flat angled areas would match up with the brace https://i.imgur.com/ei2g6jl.jpg It is rounded underneath, so flipping it over would not match up at all. |

Why use the carbine buffer there? Use the rifle buffer. |

my first gen KAK tube for the SiG brace (no castle nut) has a non taper reinforced shoulder 1.36" dia and 2" in length, measured from the end plate... puts me nose to charging handle without a brace/blade and I use a rubber end cap with no problem

I'll shoot them an email, I was asking if the tube you showed is the same as their sig tube? I like how it looks with the m4 brace and was going to pick one up Yep, the new version fits right up to the end of the SB brace like in my pics above. I like it. |

Ah, I gotcha now. They haven't updated the picture on their website. That's the old version for the Sig brace which is obviously shorter. He mentioned that when I was there that it needed to be fixed but I guess they haven't yet. Yep, the new version fits right up to the end of the SB brace like in my pics above. I like it.
