ENHANCED CARBINE BUFFER TUBE FOR AR-15 Reviews & Ratings

Buffer tubes serve a vital function in the AR15 recoil management system, but why can't they be more? Aero took a whole new approach when designing Aero’s Enhanced Carbine Buffer Tube by including features like carrier support extensions, position guide drain holes and ramping the design of the tube. These features add reliability, security, and simplicity that traditional mil-spec buffer tube options historically overlook.

Weight: 4 oz

FEATURES:

Carrier Support Extensions - Fully supports and guides the bolt carrier group into the buffer tube after a round is fired, preventing carrier tilt and unnecessary wear on key components. The Carrier Support Extensions also extend on either side of the buffer retaining pin, securing the pin in place while simultaneously preventing the buffer tube from backing out under recoil.
Position Guide Drain Holes - Each position guide features a drainage hole that removes water from the system in marine environments. During routine operation, smoother cycling is achieved by allowing additional air to escape during the compression cycle of the rifle.

Ramped Tube Design - Allows for effortless installation of traditional carbine stocks. Aero Precision have removed the need for messing around with screwdrivers to get your furniture over the end of the buffer tube. Simply hold down the adjustment piece and push your stock onto the Enhanced Buffer Tube.

Proper Thread Depth - Traditional buffer tubes feature extended unused threads that can cause your stock to become trapped when fully collapsed. While some turn these threads down, Aero have correctly machined the threads to the proper depth, providing a much cleaner look.

Mil-spec Dimensions - Machined from a 7075-T6 Aluminum Impact Extrusion to mil-spec dimensions. All standard carbine stock options made to work with mil-spec buffer tube dimensions are compatible with Aero Precision’s Enhanced Carbine Buffer Tube.

Unusable due to incomplete machining

I was very excited to receive this enhanced buffer tube from Aero Precision. However, when I looked at the tube, I immediately noticed there was no buffer pin slot on the extended lip of the tube. Well thats not right, I thought. Then I noticed there was no slot cut into the threads for the backplate tab, so it would be impossible to use a backplate. Hmm, how am I going to keep that annoying takedown spring and pin in place.electrical tape? Then I saw that channel and pin slots for the stock had also not been cut. Hmm, guess we wont be able to keep a stock secured on this thing without the hot glue gun. Finally, the little drain hole at the rear was also absent (a minor detail). That being said, the finish on this completely unusable buffer tube was very nice, with only a slight nearly invisible flaw observed. The inside lip was also a bit rough, so it could use a bit of deburring. A quick call to Brownells support line set the wheels in motion for a replacement, which they said would be examined prior to shipment. Brownells gets a solid A for support, but Aero Precision gets a D for sending a beautiful piece of non-functional metal. Lol The two stars rather than one star reflects the fact the finish was very nice. I am hoping the replacement negates this review.we shall see. I noticed when writing this review that a Best Use category of Paper Weight is missing. :-/
