AR15 milspec-size buffer tube (real steel)

[Drake]

Where's a good place to buy a milspec diameter buffer tube, preferably in Canada? Also preferably someplace that carries a matching milspec-size castle nut, too :P

And if it has to come from the US how much of a hassle should I expect, between ITAR export restrictions and CBSA?


And yes, it's airsoft related: need it for a shotgun stock.

I was at there store about a month ago; they had no mil spec stocks or tubes an they weren't able to import any in. Dunno if things have changed an they got a license or whatever to import them.

If you were state side, there are a bunch of places I would recommend, though I am unsure on the ITAR side of things and if they ship anywhere out of CONUS. You also might also have better luck getting a complete kit.For example, when I ordered a Vltor Mod stock, I wasn't expecting it to come with a mil-spec buffer tube, end plate and castle nut. I think LMT offers Crane stocks with the entire hardware, along with a few other companies that do the same.

Oh and one more item, have you considered how your going to properly torque the castle nut? Don't forget the the wrench, and if your really rough with your airsoft guns, either stake it or some people red-loctite it.
