What is the PRIMARY WEAPONS - Enhanced Gen 2 Buffer Tube Ratchet Lock Nut End Plate?

Impact extruded from 7075, the PWS EBT is optimized for strength and rigidity while creating a solid platform for the new lightened design. Anodized in Mil spec type 3 to exceed standards in hardness and corrosion protection. The new Ratchet-Lock Design eliminates the need for staking the castle nut and gives a rock solid lock up while being able to remove it easily if needed in the future. Additional lightening cuts reducing weight in conjunction with the new attachment design net nearly a 1oz weight reduction from already efficient mil spec buffer tube design. The anti-tilt lip enhances function and reliability, giving longer life to piston driven weapons by allowing the carrier to start in the buffer tube rather than transitioning into the tube on extraction.

I like the Rachet castle nut

PWS Enhanced buffer
The best part about this is the self locking castle nut. No need to stake it, you can just twist until tight. Much easier, cleaner and easier to remove.

Best buffer tube assembly
Ratcheting plate works perfectly! Buffer tube is light weight but very strong. Easy to put on and holds buffer tube very securely. Simple to remove. I have these on all of my AR builds.

Awesome product
I, absolutely love this product and have installed them on many of my rifles.

Quality Product/Easy Installation
Decided to go this route for a 6.8 SPC build. As I will be stalk hunting with it, Im trying to make it as light as I can. So the 1 oz. reduction was helpful, the tube is very well constructed, and looks great. While staking a standard castle nut/end plate isnt too difficult, this is a little less of a headache to install with the ratcheting castle nut. In my opinion, this thing doesnt need to be torqued to 40 ft-lbs and was skeptical about going any further past where it stopped ratcheting. I went with 15 ft-lbs and Im not getting any movement out of the tube whatsoever. I recommend using a fixture to keep the buffer tube secure when you torque. If the v shape cut out in the tube rotates and contacts the buffer retainer it will stick and not allow for buffer removal/installation. Even with the light torque.
