AR15 Pistol Buffer Assembly

fivepointstar · Oct 8, 2014

It wasn't til about a week ago I had even considered building an AR15 pistol. So I know nothing about pistol buffer assemblies.

1. what do you recommend
2. what should I stay away from like it was Ebola
3. is there a particular type of buffer tube I should get....(ie length, style etc)
4. who has them available?
5. Will they work with the SIG brace?

you're help is appreciated.

thanks!

I was looking at this write-up: http://www.guns.com/2014/06/17/got-...hese-sb15-buffer-tubes-for-your-ar-15-pistol/

Kinda like the P5 tube myself. I'll be building a couple of these so I'll probably try some of the options available.

I used a phase 5 hex-2 tube. It came with the buffer and spring. It is a shorter tube with no brace but it works great for me. It is designed to work with the sig brace.

Phase 5 Hex-2 pistol buffer tube kits are in stock at 2A Sales & Supplies if anyone is looking for one.

I ordered one off of eBay for $40 that works with the sig sb15 brace. I'll let you know how the quality is when it comes in.

I have the phase 5 tube and am very happy with it. I don't know if it will work with the Sig brace but give 2a a call. They had some when I was looking

I used the pistol buffer kit from Spikes.......it was a complete kit, T2 Buffer, buffer tube, backing plate and nut. Great fit and finish

I got it from JoBobOutfitters for a damn good price.

I went with the fluted Rock River Arms version.
Welcome to the dark side! And don't forget the Noveske Pig or a Kies linear comp! Love watching those 3-4' fireballs come out the front! hahaha!

I just listed a slightly used (40 rounds) PSA Buffer Assembly in the classifieds for $35.00 shipped if you are interested. It worked great on my 7.5" Pistol.

Give a look at the Spikes pistol buffer kit from JoeBob's. I believe that they give LE a discount as well.

2A Sales has it for $79.99 plus tax if I remember correctly.

That's what I paid from Phase5(list price) 12 bucks shipping :tdown:

2a is about an hour and 15min hike each way for me so it all evens out. Certainly would of supported them If I was closer

FYI, we expect to start receiving the Phase 5 Hex-2 Buffer Tube Assemblies, Basic Pistol Buffer Tube Assemblies, and Extended Bolt Releases within a few weeks. They're really nice for the money!

I'll be getting one from an IP at some point in the future. Just have other stuff on my plate right now.
