Help finding good quality Buffer Tube Kit (milspec)

[ELIXIR]

Like the title states. I have a Magpul ACS buttstock. And now I need a buffer tube kit. I've searched and googled and I just couldn't find a good kit.

I would prefer a good quality. 5-6 position. My price range would be (hopefully) no more than a $100.

Is there some CalGunners out there that can provide me with some good links? I would really appreciate it, this is all I need to finish my Noveske AR15!! (needs to be assembled of course)

Happy New Year!

Very good kit, the buffer tube is slightly grayish than black, but if that doesn't bother you it's an awesome kit!

LMT receiver extension with H buffer and standard spring.

I have both the BCM and LMT. I like the LMT. If you dont mind the gray color. It feels smoother since it has that teflon coating stuff on and in it. The inside of the tube is also smoother. It also has a cutout that mates with the buffer retainer pin which isnt really necessary but nice.

Have you thought about the PWS buffer tube?

Buffer tube

One of the weakest point in an AR platform is the connection point were the buffer tube meets the lower receiver. The castle nut is not enough, in my HO. I always get a ace tube, midway is the only place that I found that has them. Does not come with the buffer and spring, does come with a tan stock though. It is not a mil spec tube. I met the guy who developed them, then sold it to ace. He showed me a cut out tube and showed me it was almost twice as thick walls and the 6 position tube has metal all the way to the front of the tube, we're it connects to the receiver. Making it a really strong connection. Does not have a castle nut, instead has a metal collar that tightens with a Allen wrench. It is about $120 without a spring or buffer but well worth it.

Palmetto is good IMO

The issue isn't that it is a weak point in the AR platform, in so much as the castle nut needs to be properly staked like the gas key screws on the bolt carrier.

^^I used one on the AR I built for my wife, I was very happy with it. I think I paid $47 shipped.
