FYI,
We are working with a local company to have a run of military dimension 2 position buffer tubes (receiver extension) manufactured. I don't have an exact date for samples, but it could be sometime in July. They will be anodized in "XM" gray. |
As long as you are doing that type of machining, why not offer 3-pos or other, later military configurations as well? Why? Well, I have a 2-pos Milspec stock for my 635 build, but I prefer the other positions sometimes, so am considering using a commercial stock on it. (Gasp) Just a thought. Mil-spec tubes in any configuration ought to sell well - it seems everyone is always looking for them. I have a Colt M4 stock body for a beater build, for example, but I need a mil-size tube for it, but I want more than 2 positions on that rifle. Maybe you could charge an extra $5 a hole or something.

It seems that 4-pos tubes might be a worthwhile offering as well. While they used to be readily available from dealers with CMT stuff, they are pretty hard to find these days. |
| looking forward to getting some NDS parts. I'm already planning on overnighting my payment for an xm16e1 and a 601 lower as soon as they are available. These buffer tubes are next on my list. I don't think aluminum stock bodies are available anymore from EA so maybe NDS should jump on those too, it would probably be a worthy investment. |

Quoted: does that mean there is a chance of NDS alloy stock bodies like these? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0603/Ekie12091941/Govt%20Carbines/variation%20guide/buttstocks-1.jpg Who all makes aluminum stock bodies? Is it only EA, or does anyone else do it? ETA: I should read the rest of the thread more cloesly |
