Q
Bub471, guest, from KY, United States, asked on November 09, 2020

What exactly is the function of a buffer tube??

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Kurt Colbourne, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on April 12, 2021

The buffer tube allows the bolt carrier group to proceed rearwards in order to pick up the next round. The pistol buffer tube, such as this one, removed the capability of adding a stock. This can be helpful with avoiding legal issues with determination of a pistol though other considerations would still apply.

Q
Robert, member, from IN, United States, asked on May 30, 2020

Would this size work for a banshee 9mm pistol, or do i need the rifle length

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Kurt Colbourne, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on April 12, 2021

The tube will fit the CMMG Banshee, but depending on your intent you may need a longer tube. If you wish to reach the 26" requirement, you may need a longer tube depending on barrel length and if your muzzle device is pinned and welded.
