Disappointing experience with dark hour defense buffer tube - Dark Hour Defense 308/A5 13 Position Buffer Tube

I recently purchased a buffer tube from Dark Hour Defense, hoping for a reliable and sturdy product as depicted on their website. However, the reality fell far short of expectations. The buffer tube I received was not only different from the one pictured online but also deviated from the information provided by their customer service.

Upon reaching out to their customer service for clarification before making the purchase, I was assured that the B5 stock was a "tight fit." Unfortunately, this couldn't have been further from the truth. The design flaw in their buffer tube resulted in significant play when paired with various stocks, excluding only the MFT Minimalist. Both the B5 Sopmod/Bravo & Vltor IMOD/EMOD stocks exhibited excessive rattling, and the position detent allowed for an unsettling 3mm back-and-forth movement.

This constant need to readjust my cheek weld every time I presented the rifle became a frustrating and inconvenient aspect of using Dark Hour Defense's buffer tube. What's more disappointing is the lack of accurate representation on their website. Despite having changed the design years ago, the outdated images and information persist, creating a misleading experience for potential buyers.

In an attempt to rectify the situation, I exchanged the Dark Hour Defense buffer tube for the SOLGW Loyal 9 A5 Buffer Tube. The switch brought about a refreshing change as SOLGW delivered exactly what was promised—a high-quality A5 buffer tube without the play and inconvenience experienced with Dark Hour Defense.

In conclusion, my experience with Dark Hour Defense's buffer tube was marked by false assurances, design discrepancies, and a lack of transparency on their website. For those seeking a reliable and precisely manufactured A5 buffer tube, I would strongly recommend exploring alternatives such as SOLGW to avoid the disappointments I encountered with Dark Hour Defense.
