Junk

Very loose fit. Looks like the composition has changed in the material to be even cheaper.

False economy

Came as part of a Magpul kit, which included the buffer tube. Tube was superb, but the MOE is such a terrible fit causing a wobble and rattle that is beyond embarrasing. Nice materials and finish, but very bad design. I'm sure you'll be happy IF it fits your tube, but a total junker if it doesn't. I got the VLTOR which fitted perfectly.
