BRAVO COMPANY - AR-15/M16 BCM MIL-SPEC 6 POSITION RECEIVER EXTENSION

Top Quality Mil-spec Buffer Tube like everything BCM Makes - Fit and finish were excellent

There were no other reviews on this product so I visited BCM's website and read all the reviews there. I came back and ordered it through Brownell's. The reviews on the BCM site were all positive. Prior to this, I purchased an off brand buffer tube from a local dealer for $26. I got it home and was horrified when I opened the package and shined a light inside the tube at all the rough mill marks. I installed it anyway to get me by and because my dealer refused to take the part back. (never again will I buy anything from there) Anyway, the horrible surface of the inside of the no name tube made for an extremely unpleasant experience when the pulling the charging handle back. So, after my research, I ordered this BCM tube to replace the cheese grater tube. When the BCM tube arrived first thing I did was to shine a light into the tube and I was really disappointed because of all the rough mill marks on the inside of the tube. Secondly, only part of the inside of the tube was anodized. What a disappointment. Now, having said that, the outside of the tube was perfect and the stock fit onto the tube just the way it should. What I have noticed is that people leaving reviews about buffer tubes never talk about the fit and finish of the inside of the tube and that is just as important as the outside of the tube as the interior finish has a big impact on smooth cycling / charging of the firearm. I know there are perfect buffer tubes out there somewhere because I have one on another rifle but don't know who made the tube. I personally would not buy this BCM buffer tube again as it a premium price for a generic run of the mill buffer tube.
