I’m new here and trying to figure out which vendors are best for aftermarket. Is the above really an attestation to quality or more sarcastic? I’m sorry, I’m new, and legitimately can’t tell. 

[Doge]

My opinion is take your money elsewhere. FFT doesn't do returns and is often the most expensive option compared to other places. If you run into problems with his custom parts its very difficult to get things resolved. There's like a bajillion disclaimers on every page stating with very anti-consumer messaging.

Just some examples of the super scalping there:

I see, good info. Thank you for the post!

I reached out to the company making these tubes (not Todd) and he’s looking at adding additional positions but he says there just isn’t much space. He can add one position after the collapse position but it’s still very short. I’d think that would be useful when wearing thick clothing or gear. He’s looking at how to add a 5th position.

Hey guys, I'm Nate from Regal Metal Works. We are the ones producing the USA made tubes and then selling them on Ebay. We should have some 5 position tubes available for purchase this coming Friday

Any chance of a video or pictures of the positions?

Happen to sell direct so you don't pay the ebay tax?

[Regal Metal Works]

Yes, we do sell them directly on our website to avoid ebays fees.

I can get a video tomorrow of the positions and try to post it on here

Any testimonials or posts from current owners/users to share? 

[Doge]

Nice to see you guys on here!

I'd suggest you guys change the spacing. The way you guys have it spaced out wastes two of the length of pulls. Copy my version:

Can these 5 position tubes work with the 11701 collapsible stock ?

Yes, it’s not like the Benelli 5-pos recoil tubes.

Here are some pics!

Agreed with Doge. Notches farther down the tube offer little value for the end user. Few would use the positions since it changes your cheek weld significantly for the sights. Kind of like how the fully collapsed position is pretty much only usable for storage. If you placed your additional notches closer to the end, say .75" apart, it would give the end user more fine adjustment for getting a proper length of pull for their body types, or adapt for vests/armor.

 

Glad to see you making these tubes for the market! I've installed hundreds of the OEM ones over the past decade. Looking forward to seeing how yours stack up to them.

Will these beautiful recoil tubes be sold on your website tomorrow? Can’t wait to get them.

[Regal Metal Works]

Hi everyone, I'll be releasing the 5 position tube in the above pictures today. These tubes are nice if you are wearing thicker jackets and or plate carriers.

I'm working on another design that has finer adjustment points that I'll be making and testing in the upcoming week.

Thanks for all of the input!

Can't wait for user reviews!

Just bought a five positions recoil tube, I will share the review after I receiving it! It's really hard to find a tube these days..

[Regal Metal Works]

Hey everyone, just thought I'd share some pictures of our new 6 position prototype.

If testing goes as planned, then they should be available soon!

[StrangerDanger]

I like the design changes with the position notches. The deeper install notch seems to work well. 

[Doge]

I dig it. I'll be ordering one since I conveniently have a completely stock M4 hahaha

I installed the 3-pos tube and I think it’s better milled than OE. You do have to clean out the tube but that’s simple enough.

Not to thread hijack, but is that a BROS on an SRO, on a scalarworks? Thinking of doing the same, wanted to get a little feedback.
