Reviews & Ratings for V Seven 2055 Carbine Buffer Tube A5 — 2 reviews — Page 1

I now own V seven weapon systems 2055 carbine length and A5 length receiver extensions(aka buffer tube) along with V sevens off shoot brand Dark Hour Defense's carbine buffer tube made out of common 7075 aluminum which is just like the V seven weapon systems buffer tubes design besides the type of alloy it's made from and minus the scallops in the adjustment hole area.
