1. Changed Shooting Stance & Grip Distance
Since this buffer tube is about 2 inches longer than a typical pistol buffer tube, it increases the distance from your shoulder to the grip.
This results in a more open elbow angle and may feel more natural and comfortable for shooters with longer arms or broader shoulders.
For smaller-framed individuals, however, it might feel less maneuverable or slightly awkward.
2. Potential for Improved Stability (for Some Users)
A longer buffer tube can allow for more consistent cheek weld and potentially more stable aiming, especially when using optics or shooting from a supported position.
3. Reduced Maneuverability in CQB
The added length can make your firearm less compact, which may be a disadvantage in close-quarters scenarios or for fast transitions between targets.
