    So does a CMT A2 RE cost $25 because it cheaper to make than a carbine RE or because it's not 7071?
    I ask because I hate to assume anything and I need one.

    Has anyone done any research on the PK firearms RE on their Improved 6pos stock? I think the stock istelf is pretty good but am unsure about the RE.

    Don't know for certain on the CMT A2. I would say that it is NOT an impact extrusion.

    Good Lord. This is the deepest that I've seen the RE milspec talk go as far as specs and manufacturing.

    When it came to REs, I didn't know all this.... I just trusted my common sense and knew was I wasn't going to buy based on price. The part is too important to price shop.

    Isn't this why you come to M4C? You can go to any buble gun forums for discussions on "color or cost", but you come to M4C for TECHNICAL info.

    Aren't we all still learning? I work in this industry day in and day out and learn something new everyday. If there is a day that I didn't learn anything, I just call someone like Vickers or EK and get educated on something I had no idea about.

    I have been getting my CMT mil spec M4 buffer tubes from a vendor I have dealt with for years and trust for $35.00. I was in the dark at how they were made and bought on price,just dumb luck .

    Rifle RE are also a much simpler geometry and hence easier to make. I don't know how they make theirs but just wanted to state something that is obvious to me but probably often gets overlooked. The simpler the geometry, the cheaper to make.
