You know, the stock/buffer tube is just a tube.
For all these people making scratch-built AR receivers, why the hell doesn’t someone redraw the plan for the buffer tube tower to use something easier to make, like an indexed band clamp and a couple of bolts, rather than stick with a part designed for an industrial process? The tube can be the exact same size and use the exact same buffer, spring, and stock assemblies…
You need a specialized tap, you’ve got to get the alignment perfect, there’s a hole in the middle of the threads, the retaining pin and spring are easily lost… why the heck keep it if you don’t have to?
Heck, why not adjust the thickness of the main reciever body towards the front, so you can still use the AR safety and catches, but utilize a simple folded or formed metal channel as the magwell?
God I wish I had some computerized production capacity and the time to play around with it…
