Most Helpful Positive Review Nice FDE Tube
I was a little hesitant to try this tube based on some reviews that described a rough inside surface. I purchased this in 2021 and Timber Creek has smoothed the inside of the tube after the coating process, so all I had to do was wipe the cerakote dust out of the tube and I had a very smooth inside ...

Most Helpful Negative Review NOT BURNT BRONZE
Either I received the wrong item in FDE instead of the Burnt Bronze color I ordered or Timber creek has color blind quality control personnel. I compared it to my other Burnt bronze items and this thing doesn’t match any, not even close! Very disappointed.

minor Quality Control Issue

by k-Roll, Verified Owner from NH, United States Written on March 4, 2025
Items look true to MILSPEC standards. I don’t know how well they’ll thread with overspray on the threads though. One thing you need to do before installation is thoroughly clean out the inside of the tube. Mine was full of powder material, same color as the tube. If the tighten down a little on QC they have a decent affordable product.
Pros:
  • Price
  • color options
  • decent quality
Cons:
  • finish work is sloppy
  • threaded end has paint on it making it difficult to thread it into the lower.
  • a lot of residual powder coating left inside the tube that needs to be cleaned out
Best Used for:
  • Low budget builds
Would recommend: Yes

Great Quality and Color

by Sosick39, Verified Owner from AL, United States Written on December 31, 2024
I really like the quality of many of the timbercreek parts. The buffer tube is very nice and has that lip that locks in place for a nice fit. The timbercreek FDE is a rich color that matches great with radian and strike industries.

Perfect fitment and design

by Chris McDonald, Verified Owner from WI, United States Written on November 9, 2024
I installed this in a 300 BO build on a AR platform. It fits perfectly and even has the nice little notch in the threads to cup around the buffer spring rentention pin. It completes its job in retaining the buffer pin, but the notch allow for another thread or two of twist inside the lower receiver. I bought a minimalist stock and it fit great; it functions as a standard DOD M4. There’s actually less “wiggle” in the stock, so I’d say it fits better than the weapons I was issued.
Pros:
  • fitment
  • Rigitity
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Good to go

by Robert Jolly, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on September 24, 2024
The OD green matched perfectly with my Magpul buttstock and pistol grip. I'm not sure why anybody would pay more for a receiver extension this thing is perfect it has the notch for the buffer tube stop, and it matched up to my palmetto State low receiver perfectly. The next time I need a buffer tube extension I'll go to timber Creek, why pay More.
Pros:
  • OD green color matched my other parts
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes
