I am in the market for a mil-spec buffer tube to complete my latest AR build. Noticed Bowers was closed today (which sucks ass) and no one else I knew of in the south part of town had one. On a hunch, I called High Plains Arms. The man I spoke with said they have one in a "kit". I asked what that included. He replied, "The buffer tube, end plate, castle nut, spring and buffer." I really only needed the spring and the tube but asked what the price was anyway. He said, "$150". I confirmed the kit did NOT come with a stock. He said, "Correct, just the buffer tube, end plate, castle nut, spring and buffer." I said, "Okay, thanks." and hung up the phone. I know things are a little crazy right now, but $150 for a buffer tube kit with NO stock? This is gouging, plain and simple. I know I can get the items I need from Bowers for 1/3 the price this craphole was asking.
