Disappointing quality in solgw a5 length buffer tube - Sons of Liberty Gun Works Receiver Extension

Upon receiving the SOLGW A5 length buffer tube, my initial excitement quickly turned into disappointment. The package revealed a tube marred by visible chips, indicative of rough handling, and the machining left much to be desired.

Externally, the tube displayed noticeable pitting and machining marks, giving it a rather unsightly appearance. However, it was the interior that truly raised concerns, as it was riddled with unsightly swirls. It left me questioning whether anyone had deemed such imperfections acceptable prior to the application of anodizing or Teflon coating.

As someone who had high expectations, especially given SOLGW's reputation for producing quality components, this experience was particularly disheartening. It's evident that there has been a decline in machining standards across the industry, with third-party manufacturers seemingly prioritizing cost-cutting measures over maintaining craftsmanship.

Overall, while I had hoped to give the SOLGW buffer tube a fair trial, its subpar quality ultimately left me deeply dissatisfied. For a company known for its commitment to delivering no-nonsense, high-quality parts, this particular product fell significantly short of expectations.
