Overview
Designed for builders working on AR15 and M5 (.308) lower receivers, this pistol buffer tube provides a straightforward option for assembling a compatible setup with standard end-plate and castle nut use. Its threaded slot is intended to accommodate that hardware arrangement, while the tube itself is sold separately from the endplate, buffer, and spring. Made from 7075 aluminum and offered in black, it suits users who want a component-focused part for a pistol configuration without extra included pieces.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- This is a tube-only component, so end plate, buffer, and spring must be selected separately.
- It is designed to work with standard end plates and castle nuts, which may matter if your setup uses nonstandard parts.
- Compatibility is listed for standard AR15 and M5 (.308) lower receivers, so it is not a universal fit for every build.
- The product is specified as black, so it is intended for builds where that finish matches the rest of the setup.
