BB1980 71 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 It looks as though you had to do what I was thinking. It looks like you replaced the polymer "buffer tube" with a metal one from an AR. I am getting too much friction on the tapco polymer tube, and noticed its the same dimensions as an ar one, but I wasn't sure about length. Looks good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I cut a bit off the end with a hack saw! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I cut a bit off the end with a hack saw! You must've sanded the fool out of it. You can't see the indentions all around the tube anymore. Unless you filled them all in with something, those indentions are 1/8" deep all around the tube, so you would decrease the diameter of the tube by 1/4" if you sanded down past those all of the way around. Spill the beans, yo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spill the beans, yo! The tube on the tapco T6 for the SKS and 10/22 don't have any holes or indentations. They are smooth like they look. Quite different than the T6 that bolts into the AK or Saiga reciever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BB1980 71 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Well, poop. That's what's confusing me, then. My SKS T6 does have the indentations all over the tube..... Carry on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's interesting! I find the smooth ones work the best. My AK and Saiga had the indentations and the operation doesn't even compare to the SKS and 10/22. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
