Texas2A's Review of Dark Hour Defense 308/A5 13 Position Buffer Tube

I wanted to try this buffer tube out given the limited number of A5 length options. I received my tube in a white cardboard box and upon opening it, I noticed the buffer tube is substantially different from the ones pictured. The tube has no machining in the rear, no chamfering around the radius, no drain hole, and only 3 of the 4 drain holes pictured in the detent slots. To top it all off, the stocks I tried all have substantial play. B5 Sopmod is comically loose at least 3mm forwards and backwards from the selected detent position and my Vltor Emod is just as bad. This is a good old switcharoo. They aren't selling the product shown, poor business practice in my opinion. The "current" iteration is flat in the rear with 3 vent holes on the bottom. It wouldn't have bothered me as much if the pictures and product descriptions where accurate.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • price
  • Wobbles
  • Deceptive description
Would Recommend: No
