One of the last items I need is a buffer tube for a collapsable stock. I've got the stock, spring and buffer. Any reco's are greatly appreciated.

The BCM is made from 7075 t6 aluminum and is actually true mil spec material and size.  Many "mil spec" are 6061 aluminum at mil spec diameter.  6061 has half the strength of 7075.  Buy once cry once.

If you don't mid a gray buffer tube instead of black.  I got one from BCM a month or two ago and the damned thing is gray, and it seems to have some sort of dry film lube on it because when I wiped it down the rag turned gray.  It is a good tube but I wanted black since I am building a triplet set and the other two are black, so I had to order another VLTOR from Brownells.  I got it about two weeks ago but I don't know if they have any more in stock or not.
