I ordered one of these from Optics Planet back in Jan. They have no idea when they will arrive. Looked on Vltor site and they don;t have any. Is this something that has been phased out for replacement? I wouldn't think so.
Anyone have any inside info? If they are not going to be available does anyone offer an alternative that I can still use the A5 spring and buffers in?

BCM also sells an A5 “intermediate” extension. Rainier carries it also. You can check Midway for buffers if BCM doesn’t have the right buffer in stock. SOLGW sells them also, I think. There’s one in the EE.

Disclosure: I am affiliated PRN with a tactical training center, but I speak only for myself. I have no idea what we sell, other than CLP and training. I receive no income from sale of hard goods.

The problem is I bought the springs and buffers so all I need is the receiver. So are the BCM and Ranier directly interchangeable?

I back ordered an Vltor A5 extension from Brownells back in August of last year. They just emailed a few days ago that they came back in stock and asked me if I still wanted it (I do).

BCM Intermediate is interchangeable with A5. I only mentioned Rainier as a place to buy the BCM RE. They don’t make their own, AFIK.
Edit: I buy all my A5 tubes on the EE here.

@sniperfrog ... that's a good sign. Mine is on order from OpticsPlanet

Ok, I see so the BCM is the interchangeable version. I think I see that one in the EE you mentioned but it's gone now. I think I'm just going to get the BCM version. They have them in stock for the same price as the 'discount' from OP. Thanks for the info!

Vltor made a Facebook post that a new batch of tubes just went out.

Both of my A5 guns have the BCM tubes and I just got a third based off of the responses from my thread the other week. The BCM tube has more positions for stock adjustment and Grant carries them. I believe you can also use AR10 tubes.
