Can you explain this a bit more Leigh? Does that go in between the tube and the buffer disk? I just swapped out to a milspec tube...didn't cross my mind that something else should have been done.
I can see the walls of the Derya tube are quite a bit thicker than any of the regular AR tubes I've got laying around...does the rubber buffer just impact against the open end of the tube?
Would 3d printing and gluing in a plug work if we don't have the skills to machine up such a swanky plug?
You need to file or grind the 'lip' that sits at 6 o'clock on the buffer tube so the plug pictured in my hand sits flat . Then the rubber bolt buffer has a flat surface to strike when the bolt is cycled fully to the rear.
A note of caution for everyone playing with the buffer tube area : regardless of what you do, before firing the rifle you need to pull the bolt to the rear as far as you can by hand and MAKE SURE that the charging handle does not make contact with the slot in the side of the receiver that it runs in.If the handle does strike the rear of the slot then you need to screw in the buffer tube more. It should cycle as far back as possible without touching.
