Does anyone know where to find one of these in stock?

Thanks

No idea if it's a good deal / legit but that's what credit cards are for

Their reputation is pretty awful, but don’t take my word for it and do a search.

HK Parts Pro is legit, though it's out of stock at the moment.

I also check the HK USA Web store, but I do not see it listed there; you could call customer service and maybe they will sell you one.

Steer far, far away from RKUSA.

Does this balance out a front-heavy rifle or something?  Did I miss the memo?

Supposed to reinforce one of the weakest parts of the M4. Smack the buffer tube right at the threads really hard while the receiver and stock are pinned, and you can snap the tube off.

Not  exactly a common occurrence. My thing is, their extended castle nut requires their buffer tube, and it's a marginal improvement at best, since the added section isn't threaded, as it has to fit over the tube itself during installation.

I figure if breaking off the buffer tube is that big a deal, the UBR is always an option.

Not quite, it combined with HK stocks collapse together providing reinforcement when mortaring the rifle.
