Matt S.'s Review of Primary Weapons Systems PWS Enhanced Buffer Tube, Mil-Spec Gen 2 Ratchet Lock Endplate

I wanted to try the ratcheting castle nut/end plate design so just ordered the kit with buffer tube.

Really glad I did. All components are excellent. Well made, solid finish, easy to install.

The buffer tube is "engraved" stamped with the various positions, lightweight design and the fluting just looks nice. Anti-tilt design seats the buffer tube lip around the buffer retaining pin.

Not having to stake a castle nut is awesome. Ratchets onto the end plate and can be removed if necessary.

Still uses the same castle nut wrench, no special/proprietary tools needed.

The QD sling swivel socket in the rear is great and very useful as it allows both lefties and righties to use a sling there without any reconfiguring or having "extra" snag points.

I put mine on a CWAR build I have been working on, using the Kaiser US polymer receiver set.

Love it. Plan to get the same kit for any other future builds I do, which is at least 2 more right now.

Even if you don't want/get their buffer tube, the ratcheting endplate/castle nut can be bought separately and used with any mil spec receiver/buffer tube setup.

Pricey but I think it is well worth it for a quality product with thoughtful, innovative design.
