Smart. I am going to stop being cheap. Buy reputable parts from trusted sellers, and if it cost me a little extra, then so be it.

If they dont refund you for the buffer, ill offer you something for it.
I love parts to ad to the "bins of shame" for my classes.

I had one of those in my "cart" last week and backed out of buying it. Glad I did. And as far as sealed bags...people can seal bags up and unless you pay attention or are looking for it, you will never know it was "resealed". Inmates do it all of the time with everything from Ramen noodles to bags of tuna to conceal contraband. And with what little they have to work with, they do a damn good job.

I might give you a package deal; the end plate looks rough as well.
Having other folks posting pictures of the "same" product out-ed your bogus tube. It's yet another way MDS comes through for us.

22mods4all emailed me back, check this out:

Is it the white and black piston that is causing the problems. We would be happy to replace it for you.

Black and white piston?!! WTF!!! What did these people do before they sold AR parts? Tupperware parties? Really??

Replace it with another knockoff? Not seeing it in plain Engrish that you are getting a KAK.

No - they are not. And who calls a buffer a "black and white piston"?

Watch out for the KAK pistol buffer tube too. Mine is horribly rough inside, they acknowledged the issue but never replaced it. I have tried to get them to send me one that is machined correctly for several months, they claim they are all machined incorrectly. I just get the runaround from them.

Are you talking about the real KAK tube? I just checked mine and the inside seems fine compared to others..

IMO polishing the anodizing off of aluminum in areas where friction happens is a bad idea. Bare aluminum is not good for an areas where spring oscillation, bolt, amd buffer travel happens.
I would trash that thing before I polished an operational surface.

Here's what mine looks like, I agree with clandestine, I would not polish it:
Definitely headed to the junk pile, just don't know what to replace it with?

Any pistol buffer tube would work, even with the blade. [EDIT - at least I have seen You Tubes where guys have attached these to standard pistol tubes] I ordered a pistol buffer kit from PSA, if for not other reason, to have the option of a plain tube if the blade does not work out.

I'm not sure if there is a difference. I ordered the model that "mounts on standard pistol tubes". You might want to give KAK a call or email before throwing more money down the AR hole.

Hey all,
I ordered the same product direct from KAK and it was a big difference. The buffer, spring, inside of the tube, end plate, all felt as though they were made at two different places. The stamp with the KAK logo was bold and deep on the ones from KAK and barely legible on the ones from 22mods4all. I called and did the RMA and after some polite conversation it was agreed that if I wrote a letter stating why I didn't want the product I could get a refund by check. Hopefully that all comes through in the next week or so.
