    Rifle Buffer Tube: best manufacturer

    I am looking to get a rifle buffer tube for an A2 stock. (NOT carbine/adjustable) DPMS and Olympic seem to be the only companies making these. I looked at LMT, but they do not seem to be making them.

    Does anyone have a preference for such a standard part?

    What brand does Noveske, Colt, and Knights Armament use for there rifle length tubes?

    Thanks,

    What is "SAW"?

    The link you posted was for a buffer, not a buffer tube.

    I am asking specifically about a buffer tube.

    Son.. you can get a REAL colt Rifle RE from Brownells. The Colt part will be infinitely better than some aftermarket nonsense.

    Except VLTOR. But that's not really a rifle extension. It just works on a rifle.
