Quite right, however, although the buffer tube is not used on a .17HMR the massive shockwave experienced has the potential to break non titanium components.Mattnall wrote:Well, the buffer isn't used on a .22lr.Ginger wrote:Personally I would recommend a metal buffer tube rather than a polymer one.

Really, I thought you were serious!
I am being serious about the .17HMR though, it’s far to powerful to use with a polymer or aluminium buffer tube, they need to be titanium.
Aha OK. I must have missed that debate, which does sound fascinating.John MH wrote:There was a big debate al while back about how "poor" quality a certain rifle was because it had a polymer buffer tube and not a aluminium and misguided perception that that must be bad.
If a stock was wobbly it would not be because the buffer tube was polymer per se , it could be a variety of reasons.

No reason why not, some of the GSG MP5's have been done like that (by an RFD)BestDrugDoc wrote:Could you chop off the fake moderator, recrown and screwcut the shortened barrel, and put a real one on and fix it so it was part of the barrel thereby keeping the 12 inch rule? Has anyone done this yet?
