Buffer Tube Cover?

Post by RedRocker » Mon Jan 27, 2014 7:21 am

Anybody have one? Trying to decide between a foam cover or embroidered sleeve from Spikes Tactical. Opinions anyone?

How do you keep the ends secure with paracord?

Wrap it just like you would a knife handle or the like. Thats what I used on my AR pistol...worked well.

Wrap a string loop under a few coils and then you pull the end of cord under the loops

Same technique for wrapping serving on bows and guides on fishing poles.
At least that what I do.

JSI this is a bad lip reading not wrapping para-cord.

If I don't start the SBR process soon, I may look into a buffer tube that fits the brace a little better. The brace is loose on my my buffer. I put like 6 or 8 thin rubber bands on the tube and shoved the brace on. It pulls right off now but doesn't just fall off like before.
