View Full Version : A2 buffer tube out of spec?

Bought an ar-15 completion kit from joe bobs (had great reviews). However on a PSA or spikes lower with an 1/8" thick end plate, it is 2 thread turns away from covering the buffer retention pin. Essentially it looks like I would practically need a stamped end plate to make it work. Am I missing something or did I just get an out of spec buffer tube?

You don't use an endplate on an A2. Buffer tube goes on receiver and stock goes on tube (and compresses retaining spring).

It is perfect now. Thank you!
