Description
The CMMG A1 Receiver Extension gives your build the foundation it needs for a rifle-length setup with a traditional fixed stock. Made from black hardcoat anodized aluminum, this tube is built to handle the demands of a working rifle while maintaining that clean, classic aesthetic.
Why Choose the CMMG A1 Receiver Extension
This is a straightforward, no-frills component. It's designed to work with fixed A1 or A2 stocks and integrates with standard lower receivers on AR-15, M16, M4, and LR-308 platforms. The hardcoat anodized finish gives you solid corrosion resistance without the fuss. If you're building a rifle with an 18" or 20" barrel and want a true rifle-length buffer system, this is what you need.
Compatibility and Your Build
Rifle-length receiver extensions are longer than carbine versions, which means they require their own dedicated buffer and spring setup. This tube pairs with a rifle-length buffer and spring, not the lighter carbine components. The key thing here is understanding that once you go with a rifle-length tube, your stock selection narrows to fixed options like the A1 or A2 models. You won't be able to run a collapsible M4-style stock on this.
Straightforward Installation
If you're swapping from a carbine setup or building from scratch, you'll be threading this onto your lower receiver like any standard buffer tube. It's mil-spec dimensioned, so compatibility with quality parts from established manufacturers is reliable. This is the kind of part that just works when you need it to.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this A1 extension and a carbine buffer tube?
Rifle-length tubes like this A1 extension are significantly longer than carbine versions and are designed for fixed stocks. The extra length requires a dedicated rifle-length buffer and spring setup, not the lighter carbine components. You also can't use adjustable M4-style stocks with this tube, only fixed A1 or A2 models.
Will this A1 receiver extension work with my AR-15 lower?
Yes, as long as your lower is mil-spec dimensioned. This extension is compatible with standard AR-15, M16, M4, and LR-308 platforms. Just verify your lower receiver is designed for a rifle-length buffer system before ordering, as carbine and rifle-length setups aren't interchangeable.
Do I need any other parts to complete my buffer system with this receiver extension?
Yes. This tube alone is just one part of the system. You'll also need a rifle-length buffer, a rifle-length buffer spring, a castle nut, and an end plate to complete the setup. Many builders buy these components as part of a complete kit to ensure everything matches and works together properly.
Is the black finish durable for regular use?
The hardcoat anodized finish is designed for corrosion resistance and regular handling. Like all anodized finishes, it can develop a patina over time with heavy use, but this is normal and doesn't affect function. Avoid storing in damp conditions for extended periods to maintain the finish.
