I had a Polymer80 lower break on me so I decided to conduct an experiment and see what would happen if you fired the gun without a buffer tube! The results are about what you would expect.

  1. I've always wondered what would happen but not because of not running it without a buffer tube but because of folding stock kits. Like, a cheap one from Amazon. What would happen if you keep it folded and shot it? 🤔 same thing or would it test the strength of the lower and shooters face?

  2. I still gave you a thumbs up and subbed you for keeping people informed. A little knowledge goes a long way. Lets just not make it short. If you over think a project or under ask for some advice. You never know it could mean life or death. Sorry for the rant.

  3. Wow bro so dumb. I mean thank god your ok but bro you really think the way you have everything set up with a sheet of plywood blocking you would really save you. Yeah the gun was pointed in opposite direction of you and your playwood but if the was a more higher powered gun that bolt would of went right threw that plywood possibly killing you. Yeah your fine and it didnt do that. But there are several factors there where things could of been way different. I mean hell you new possibly the end would fly out. But your using a sheet of plywood, your only feet away, and you had the back end of the gun facing in your direction. This isnt that im bashing you. Id hate to see anyone get hurt. But man people need to think first. I love guns but im also smart about them.

  4. I'd be more curious to see how long a receiver extension (aka "buffer tube") would last on the gun without the buffer or spring installed. Obviously the carrier would smack straight against the rear wall of the tube, but it would just be interesting to see how many rounds it could endure before getting bound up or letting the BCG fly out the back.

  5. Uhhh, instead of beating on the bolt, wouldn't the forward assist do the same without breaking a knuckle? I got bad arthritis in my hands, so I always look for the easy (least painful) route. lol
