Extension tube for A2 buttstock
Well made. Proper length. Does not come with additional screw to fasten A2 buttstock to this. The Buttstock I purchased didn’t either. So make sure your tube or buttstock does, otherwise have to order one.

Springs and buffers as it should.
Enough spring and buffer weight to make the PSA premium Dissipator (16” CHF bbl, middy) eject strong, but with no recoil.
The extension being 7075, paired with the Harrington & Richardson, foam filled, A1 repro stock, will inspire confidence to buttstroke commies in our upcoming “troubles.”
Does sound like some one is effin your ear with a pogo stick; c’est la vie when dealing with these long rifle springs. Shouldn’t be a problem when it is drowned out by the cries of the enemy.
Buffer spring
Works great in an AR10 338 Federal
Buffer tube and spring
A1 retro build and it fit perfect no issues . Purchased on friday and was here by Tuesday.
Great for battle rifles!
This is one of VERY FEW receiver extensions that are made of 7075 alloy. To most, that may not matter since the typical 6061 alloy is plenty strong enough for the intended purpose of most rifles. However, I wanted the extra strength in case I ever have to use my rifle as a club, so to me this kit was well worth the extra cost. Plus, I have more peace of mind knowing that it's made from the same high-strength alloy as the receiver. The install was extremely easy. I just put a bit of blue threadlocker on the threads, screwed it into the lower receiver, and tightened with a wrench. The buttstock I chose slipped right into place with no trouble whatsoever. Thanks for offering this kit!
Excellent Parts
Bought this to put a GEN 2 MAGPUL PRS stock I've had laying around for years on my DMR build. The extension was a perfect, solid fit to the MAGPUL stock...
rifle parts
Bought for a F Class build I'm getting ready to start. Look like what I have used in the past so I should be happy.
GTG Rifle Buffer Kit
This kit comes with quality parts with a great fit and finish. The parts feel solid. Installed no problem in my Brownells 16A1 receiver. My USGI Surplus 16A1 stock fit like a glove over this rifle extension. Buy and use with confidence.
