Overview

Short buffer tube built for XLR folding stock adapters

The XLR Shortened Buffer Tube is 1.7 inches shorter than XLR's standard buffer tube, built for a folding stock build that runs an XLR folding adapter. It keeps the factory 12 to 15 inch length of pull adjustment range after the adapter's added length. It uses XLR's proprietary buffer tube diameter, not a standard AR buffer tube.

1.7 in shorter than standard

Trims 1.7 inches off XLR's standard buffer tube so a folding adapter's added length still lands inside the factory 12 to 15 inch length of pull range.

4.1 oz

Weighs 4.1 ounces, in XLR's proprietary buffer tube diameter built for the larger caliber rifles XLR stocks are used on.

Castle nut included

Ships with a castle nut, the same as XLR's standard buffer tube.

Not an AR buffer tube

The proprietary outside diameter means this tube does not run AR buffer internals and is not interchangeable with traditional AR buttstocks or A2 style stocks.

Fitment

Will it work with your build?

Works with

  • XLR folding stock adapters (maintains the factory 12 to 15 inch length of pull range)

Will not work with

  • AR buffer internals
  • AR platform carbine buffer systems
  • Traditional AR buttstocks and A2 style stocks

This is not a standard AR buffer tube. XLR buffer tubes use a proprietary outside diameter for added strength on larger caliber rifles, so this short tube will not run AR buffer internals and is not interchangeable with traditional AR buttstocks or A2 style stocks. It is built to pair with an XLR folding stock adapter and keep the factory 12 to 15 inch length of pull range after the fold.

Detail

Fitting it and the fine print
