Great product - Matador Arms The Sidewinder Buffer Tube

Citizen's Review of Matador Arms The Sidewinder Buffer Tube
My first folder build, and its a bufferless system so this was perfect. I will say that i took off a star as I hope a potential gen 2 would come with an endplate that doesnt have the "notch" that is on most end plates. The end olate is needed to retain the takedown pin detent and spring. Standard end plates wont work with this due to the notch that normally rides in a buffer tube channel. My solution was to dremel that notch off of an end plate and it works great, just wish matador would consider including an end plate in future generations of this adapter. Alternatively, machining the adapter with the necessary channel to index to a standard end plate however i think including a notchless end plate would be a simpler and cheaper solution. Install is simple and it locks up nicely. Love the ability to choose which side it folds to.
Pros:
Quality
Ease Of Use
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
