Exactly what i wanted - JE Machine Tech AR-15 Pistol Buffer Tube, Skeletonized

Wanted a well built pistol buffer tube that was better vented than a bog standard tube with a single vent in the rear. Nothing like pulling the trigger and getting a puff right back at you. Its lighter, if you're inclined to count ounces, I like the extended lip to interface with the buffer spring retainer and bolt carrier. The machining and finish is also high quality. I suppose it does allow for more dirt/dust to be ingested under operation, but I don't think an AR pistol is likely to be intentionally fielded into a combat situation, so probably just a minor concern. If you have a standard buffer spring, the noise will be more pronounced, but paired with a quiet buffer spring, its just smooth.
