Spikes Tactical Billet Rifle Stock Spacer for A1/A2 Tubes

Description

Switching to a fixed A1 or A2 stock but don't want to buy a dedicated rifle buffer and spring? That's exactly the headache this little spacer solves. A rifle-length buffer tube is deeper than a carbine tube, so if you just drop a shorter carbine buffer in there you end up with a gap that lets the bolt carrier and buffer bottom out on the gas key instead of the rear of the tube. This spacer fills that extra length so your carbine buffer and spring sit and cycle where they should.

What the Spikes Tactical Stock Spacer Actually Does

The idea is simple. Pop the spacer into the back of your rifle-length tube, install your carbine buffer and carbine spring, and you're good to go. It lets you keep running the buffer and spring you already own, including Spike's own ST-series buffers, inside an A1 or A2 length system. Worth noting: the spacer itself does not add buffer weight, so your recoil impulse stays driven by whatever buffer you choose to run.

Machined From Solid Billet Aluminum

This is a CNC-machined billet aluminum cylinder wearing a black hard-coat anodized finish, so it holds up to repeated cycling and general abuse without wearing out. Spike's Tactical laser etches their spider logo onto the end of the cylinder, a nice touch you won't see once it's tucked inside the tube but a sign of the fit and finish the brand is known for. It weighs in right around 3 ounces.

Installing the A1/A2 Buffer Spacer

One of the best parts is how painless the swap is. No gunsmithing, no special tools, no permanent changes. It slides in and comes back out just as easily if you decide to reconfigure your rifle down the road. If you're building an A2 fixed-stock rifle around parts you already have on the bench, this keeps the project simple and saves you from tracking down a separate rifle buffer and spring.
