"Buffer Tube" Plug - Who got one?

It looks like this tube-plug thing is becoming another arcane bit of gun lore like the endless discussions about the shape of S&W revolver cylinder release buttons or Colt hammer spurs. Mine has a plug and Kansas is naked of stupid restrictions on magazines and stocks. I'm confident that it's just a matter of what they had in the bin on the assembly line at the time a particular gun was built but if it amuses people (no plug-haters, please!) then great, everybody have a good time!

Whatever you say. The fact is the ONLY thing "compliant" about the CA model is the crippled magazine. If you want to call that a "compliant' model, that's fine with me.

I'm not about to get into yet another argument with you simply because you get some perverse pleasure out of nic-picing over something that really doesn't matter. End of discussion.

Does that mean that this thread is now plugged? :D

Just got a plug in the mail :)

I called & as reported they have no part number but the guy knew what I was talking about, had one sitting around, sent it out. Your mileage my vary ;)
 
Plug?

The thread we were discussing this in is getting sidetracked.

Some have the plug, and some don't. Maybe with this thread we can figure out what S&W was thinking.

Do the people who don't have the plug have any restrictions in their state? (no threaded barrels, no adjustable stocks, limited capacity mags)

I have a feeling S&W figured they don't need them on models with pinned stocks, so they just left them off all the restricted models period. :(



Mine is a (033) with no restrictions of any kind. Mine came with a plug.

I "lost" mine and so I stuck one of those plastic thingys that go over the small sprayer of an aerosol hair spay can. It turns out (esthetics wise) to be "Mind over matter - I don' mind it doesn't matter." :D
 
Mine has the plug, and I guess I could be to blame for starting the plug dispute on the other thread, but I have to wait til I get home tonight to see what model I have. I was thinking about what would work well as another option though. Best I came up with was, rub a little Vaseline around the inside of the tube, put some Saran-wrap over the tube than push it inside the tube with your finger so it makes sort of a cup inside the tube. Fill it with black silicon and smooth it out flush on top. While it's still wet stick something in it for a grab-tab. Let dry for a few days to cure on the inside. Once it's dry pull it out and pull the Saran-wrap off the plug. The silicon should take perfect shape, and if you leave a small coating of Vaseline, it will help make the tube a little more water resistant. Just an idea.

K guys, sorry for giving such a good setup, but it would probably be most professional to stay away from the plug jokes. It has the possibility to offend someone.
 
Don't really see why it would offend someone. There is a reason they call jokes, jokes.For all we know S&W probably calls it butt plug also in their offices/shops. Backin the shop where I work we have all sorts of names for random objects haha

I agree, but read through the posting rules and some jokes fall outside the code of conduct. There has already been jokes removed so obviously it wasn't quite appropriate. 'twas a good one tho :)
 
All,
FYI...

4th is an #811034... Magpul edition... NO plug in the end of it.!!!

HTH,
Paul
 
I also have an 034 that came with no BT plug. A complimentary one is on it's way from S&W. The guy I talked to seemed nice enough, and knew exactly what I was asking about.

I'm sure there's a lot of calls they're getting from this forum. I bet they're confused on why they're getting all these calls from people asking for "this plug at the end of the buffer tube" lol. Makes me feel like calling just to apologize, maybe I will, and ask for a spare just in case.

My joke was removed and I was warned for it being against forum rules regarding crude/vulgar posts. It was a play on words, and a REALLY good one. But whatever. :rolleyes:
