Description

The buffer tube is one of those parts nobody brags about but everybody depends on. It houses your buffer and recoil spring, anchors your stock, and takes a beating every single time the bolt cycles. Battle Arms Development builds this one to mil-spec dimensions from precision CNC-machined 7075-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum with an impact-forged construction, so it holds tight tolerances and stands up to hard use.

What the BAD 6-Position Buffer Tube Brings to Your Build

This is a carbine-length receiver extension with six adjustment notches, giving you the standard range of length-of-pull positions most collapsible stocks are designed around. The mil-spec outer diameter runs about 1.148 inches with a flat, straight rear profile, which is the setup nearly every modern aftermarket stock is built for. Magpul, B5 Systems, BCM and the rest of the usual suspects all make mil-spec stocks that slide right on. It drops onto any standard AR-15, M16, or M4 lower receiver without drama.

Finish and Feel of the BAD Mil-Spec Tube

Battle Arms finishes the tube with a Type III hard-coat black anodize. That hard anodizing does more than look sharp. It adds a tough, corrosion-resistant layer that shrugs off sweat, weather, and the friction of your stock riding back and forth across the notches. Forged 7075-T6 is the stronger alloy of the two you'll see in this world, and it's what you want carrying the load behind your buffer.

Why Reach for Battle Arms Development

Battle Arms Development, Inc. has been designing small arms components, tools, and complete weapon systems since 2009, and everything here is made in the USA. If you're assembling a lower or swapping out a questionable factory tube, this is a clean, dependable foundation that plays nice with the standard buffer, spring, castle nut, and end plate you already know. Pair it with the right buffer weight for your barrel and gas length and you've got a smooth-running action.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this BAD buffer tube mil-spec or commercial?

It's mil-spec, with an outer diameter of roughly 1.148 inches and a flat, straight rear profile. That's the standard nearly all modern aftermarket stocks are built around. If you're running a mil-spec stock like a Magpul, B5, or BCM, it'll slide right on.

Will the 6-position buffer tube fit my lower receiver?

Yes. It's designed to fit any standard AR-15, M16, or M4 lower receiver. As long as your lower uses a common threaded receiver extension, this tube threads on with no fitment issues.

Does this buffer tube come with a buffer, spring, or castle nut?

No, this is the tube only. You'll need to supply your own buffer, recoil spring, castle nut, and receiver end plate to complete the assembly. That works out well if you already have those parts or want to pick a specific buffer weight for your barrel and gas system.

What kind of stock works with the BAD mil-spec tube?

Any collapsible stock made for a mil-spec receiver extension will work here, and that covers the vast majority of stocks on the market today. Commercial-spec stocks are slightly larger in diameter and will fit loose, so stick with mil-spec for a tight, rattle-free lockup.
