Reviews & Ratings for V Seven Heavy Steel 7.25in Buffer Tube — 2 reviews — Page 1

Adding a Magpul quick disconnect sling mount on the back side of the receiver (upper) of a brand new S&W AR I needed to remove the buffer tube and spring to mount it. Having removed a buffer tube at least 100+ times or more on these, there was nothing to this - until I had to reassemble it.
I didn't notice anything wrong with the threading on the buffer tube while taking it apart but I sure did putting it back together. It got stuck half way in. Removing it I noticed some galling on 2 of the threads on the tube. Odd that I didn't notice this during disassembly but to be honest, I didn't give it a good look as I've never had a problem like this before.
