I never got to catch a final word on the pistol buffers.... are they good bad?  worth it not worth it? Which one should I get and why?   I don't have a B/BC/CH for my build yet, so If I need to buy one with a buffer system, no problem.....

BTW, this is a for a 7" build of mine with pigtail gas tube - first build with that.

Any and all help appreciated.

i want to build a pistol too with the 7" bbl and use the pigtail gastube to help with the gas.
from what i have followed in the threads the best and surest is the ace pistol buffer tube,


others are hit and miss.

Go with the CAR buffer tube.  Easy availability, parts interchange, and they work.

I used the ACE pistol buffer tube.  It has been working just fine.  I got it from ACE because a certain retailer was trying to charge me $75.00 for it when ACE charges $57.00 for a complete pistol tube.  The people at ACE where a pleasure to deal with.  I thought about the CAR buffer tube, but you'd have to do something to it so that it wouldn't be able to accept a stock.  If you have one laying around or can buy one cheap, then that may be the way to go.

i might have to order straight from ace too.

if you paid that much then someone here is trying to make a killing off one item
