Mrretro5, member, from FL, United States, asked on August 22, 2018

Is it compatible with the law tactical folding adapter

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on November 13, 2018

While this buffer tube will function with the LAW folding adapter, the buffer tube would need to be modified to fit properly. PWS currently offers a "MODIFIED ENHANCED BUFFER TUBE" through them directly which will function with the LAW adapter without being modified by the user.
