The buffer tube found in an AR-15 is situated in its lower receiver, and it plays a very important part in the cycling of the rifle as well as recoil management. It contains a buffer tube spring that is designed to help a bolt carrier load rounds into the rifle’s chamber. Wing Tactical can provide the buffer tube accessories you’ll need, such as a spring or a buffer tube adapter.
Buffer Tube Spring
Over time, this spring can start to shorten, and if you don’t do something about it, it could ultimately prevent you from being able to fire your rifle. You should inspect the spring in your AR-15’s buffer tube every time you clean your rifle and replace it if you notice it getting significantly shorter than it was when you first started using it. Wing Tactical can help you select the right spring for your specific rifle when the time comes.
Buffer Tube Adapter
Buffer tube springs are just one of the buffer tube accessories you might need to get your hands on for your AR-15. You may also need to pick up a buffer tube adapter like the Strike Industries AR Picatinny Stock Adapter. It’ll provide you with the opportunity to mount a 1913 Picatinny interface stock or stabilizer to your rifle.
